I have been trying to use Github to do Source Control. Needless to say i am 
getting very irritated. I am an "old school" developer. That last time i used 
any source control system and worked as part of a team i used Visual SourceSafe 
back in Visual Studio 6. Here is what i am trying to accomplish:

1) I need to be able to control source files individually (have team members 
check files out and back in individually so team members can collaborate on our 
App). 
2) i DO NOT need branching or any of that open source stuff. We have a single 
app and only a few developers.

Problems i have been having:

It appears (unless i am just an idiot):

1) Github does NOT like it when you change a file and don't want to commit the 
changes in that file to the repository. (I tried to revert and it insisted i 
commit my changes first.. GRRRR isn't that the definition of "REVERT"? To roll 
back my changes?)
2). It appears you can not check out individual files.. you must check out the 
entire project and you must do it using a command line? WAY NOT COOL.. i need 
this to be easy..
3) The GITHub app seems to error constantly.. Complains about things and gives 
you only command line examples how to fix the issues it is erring about.
4). I hate command line interfaces.. we are not in the 80's anymore guys.. i 
want a simple and error free GUI interface.

So is there a better tool for what i want to do? I would prefer one compatible 
with mono's version control.. but if i have to i am ok with doing all of it 
outside of mono in a stand alone app. Also, i don't mind paying if i get what i 
want. Thanks in advance guys..

Thanks,

Kris Bloom
