Install TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads) and Vim (http://www.vim.org/) IIRC Tortoise comes with idiff and merge tools but WinMerge is a freebie that I have found to be more useful. WinMerge knows Tortoise and will ask during installation whether you want to use WinMerge in place of TortoiseMerge from within Tortoise. One other essential Windows tool is HxD, a hex editor and binary compare tool: http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ HxD is one I would like to see on Mac. 0xED is as close as I have found: http://www.suavetech.com/0xed/0xed.html MacOS comes with vim without the gvim graphic support complied. No matter that I have BBEdit, and TextWrangler on some machines, I still spend a good amount of time with vim on non-Mac Unix systems and can often do something in vim faster than with BBEdit. So I also install GVim on Windows systems but often have to close my eyes and run it keyboard style as I find the GUI confusing.
