I want to start a completely new project using version control

Chris@496: Chris@498:

To start using version control for an initially empty project, just Chris@498: initialise a repository in an empty folder:

Chris@496: Chris@496:

1. Click the Open toolbar button or use File -> Open

Chris@496: Chris@498:

2. Select “File folder” as the thing you want to open

Chris@496: Chris@498:

3. Make a new folder in the file dialog and browse to it

Chris@496: Chris@496:

4. Click OK

Chris@496: Chris@498:

A new repository will be created, stowed into the empty working folder Chris@498: you selected. At first, it will have an empty history. You can then Chris@498: start to add and commit changes to your files. Chris@498:

Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is hg init
