Q:

Easy to use (Gui Win) Version Control Software

I'm in search for a friend who studies economic science for an easy Version Control Software. For the moment he needs it for his thesis which has to be written in LaTeX. Since he has to learn LaTeX too (and he has enough problems with it) the VCS should be easy to use - at best with Gui for Windows. He is the only one who has to use the VCS.
A few years ago I used a VCS for the same purpose, but I can't find it any more. It was a bit like Git. It made in the working directory a hidden directory where it stored it's information.
I tried to teach him Git, but he said it is to complicated (I only use Git on command line and don't know any good Gui's) with his thesis and LaTeX.
Is there a good Gui for Git or an easy to learn/use VCS (it should be free)?
Thanks

A:

If your friend doesn't want to use SVN there is nice GUI for Mercurial: http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/. 
Mercurial is really easy to learn. There are lot of tutorials for quick learning (for example: http://hginit.com/, https://www.mercurial-scm.org/guide/).
