Does Matlab support control versioning?

I'm under the impression, I think I read it somewhere, that Matlab supports the use of Git. By which I mean that I understand that Git commands can be run in Matlab. Is this true?

Also, I'm currently use TortoiseHg does this have supports in Matlab?

Or better, is there anything inbuilt?

Take a look at the Source Control Integration section of the documentation. [Note that the online documentation is for the most recent release. If you're using an older release, check the corresponding location in your installation's documentation for a description of the capabilities that are available in that release.]

I'm not familiar with TortoiseHg but after a quick Google search and a search on the Support site for Mercurial it looks like there are a few files on the File Exchange that may be relevant.

Git integration was added in the new R2016b release; it might perhaps not support all the different versions.

There is some new functionality in release R2016b related to Git, but according to the Release Notes there was at least some support in release R2014b.

From reading the release notes, it looks like there is in-built support for Git and SubVersion. However, there is support for Mercurical through Mercury Dialog in the file exchange. It gets very good, although very few, ratings.

I'll give it a go and see if I can figure it out.

As an aside, which SVN software do you use? Do you update the repository after every run of a function?

I haven't used an SVN before so trying to get my head around how it works.

Thanks for your input.
