Which one would you choose and why?
- For a one man team (by now).
- Mainly developing on a laptop.
- Connected to a server only when at home, some of the job is done remotely.
PS: I hope I have not just opened the Pandora's box... I'm a Little out in terms of what is a religious discussion nowadays...

I use subversion.
Not the Apache product; just subversion.

SVN - any day!
GIT is much harder to work with and if somebody - not necessarily yourself - doesn't know how it works, you can lose code. I've experienced that at least twice...

I use SourceSafe - because I don't care if nobody else likes it.

I went of SourceSafe when it totally corrupted our repository.

if (GIT && SVN) || (SVN && GIT) has redundant boolean redundancies
All humor aside - on a one man team, both Git and SVN will work fine in an offline situation. But with Git, since you have a local repo, you have the opportunity to commit (or branch/merge/whatever) code locally therefore maintaining a local history. With SVN you won't be able to commit (or branch, or merge) anything while offline. So your changes will all get dumped back into the SVN repo in one big pile of committed code (depending on how long you're offline). Of course you can pick through the files and do multiple commits, but what if BUG-2387 and BUG-1209 are both in the same file? In SVN those will appear as one commit if you did them offline. With Git, you can track them as two separate commits.

Excellent reply, very good points for the situation described. Have an upvote.

Git, 100%
With Git you can be disconnected, you don't need to pull before you commit, and you get the chance to commit changes locally (eg when disconnected, or for just mucking around) without needing to push your changes to the main repo.
The Pull Request extension is brilliant for those times you want to review changes before integrating them into master.
Even better (and the killer thing for us). If your "main" repo goes down then who cares. Every other copy of your repo has all the history so you just point to another repo as your main (origin).
Git is excellent for those who need to work offline and who realise that things fail.

Except:
Git also has squashing.
Git has utter contempt for code history.

Mercurial or Fossil.
For Mercurial, better windows GUIs, you won't have changesets disappear (I'm looking at you detached heads) and a whole bunch of other objective and totally sound reasons unrelated to me my intense personal dislike of Git  .

Preconditions:
- The Maxthon shortcut has a white M on a blue background.
- The winword shortcut has a blue W on a white background.
Question:
Why do I keep opening the wrong one?

Because like all right thinking people you are trying to avoid Word... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You've probably hit the nail on the head, but unfortunately I'm stuck not only with Word, but also with a version that has the god-damned ribbon!
If I wanted to spend half my time piddling about with ribbons, I'd have grown up a girl.

I wouldn't use either of them!

Just ditch Maxthon, and use Internet explorer like anyone else. Problem solved.
Mwaaawawwawaaah ah ahah hah.

I'm always open to good ideas.
Let me know if you ever have one.

Maybe you can ask them.
