For development, I'd do what you suggest, Andy. When it comes time for
"production deployment", I'd have some kind of managable process. Also,
for ASP.NET projects, I set a virtual folder that points to my workspace
(per Microsoft's best practices). This ensures that all the source goes
into the same place on the local drive.

I'm building a pre-commit "script" in C# as a DLL project, and calling
it from a BAT file. This works well, though I'd rather be learning
Python ;)

If your company is willing to permit the software, Perl and Python both
work in Windows, so some of the scripts are therefore cross-platform.
