Is there any way to integrate version control system for Apex & Visualforce code? I can thinking of keeping a separate repository but no way to have it integrated with Salesforce Platform.
Thanks in Advance.

You can do this by using Subversion and the Force.com Eclipse IDE with the Subclipse plugin.
Here are a few links to some instructions.
- Setting up Subversion (Windows)
- Installing Force.com IDE (Eclipse)
- Installing Subclipse (Eclipse plugin)
- Use the update site when installing in Eclipse - similar to the instructions here

This is the approach we took also, it's not integrated with the platform itself, but it does mean we have a back and full history available to us when we need it. – Matt Lacey Nov 07 '11 at 21:09

Recently, there have been [issues](http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/General-Development/Eclipse-Force-com-IDE-Plugin-Install-Error/td-p/242577) installing the IDE to the "Program Files" folder on Windows. If you run into an error, install the IDE to C:\ instead. – Matt K Mar 06 '12 at 17:40

If instead of using Subversion, you wish to use Git (lots of the community code is hosted on GitHub where you can get it for free) then have a look at this Dreamforce session and some hints and tips about how best to use Git and Force.com together here.
