Doing a segment of iterations on existing applicaiton.

I have to separate approximately 3 groups of code base on the same app/same actual pages.

Time frame is weekly where I will have my currWork, Released to QA, Passed to Stage.

No we don't have TFS, and I can get into ChangeManDS late Feb for training. :)

So any ideas on how to keep this managed?

Should I make manual branches in code base on my personal dev box? Maybe keep the Fri data as part of it's name?

Or is there a better way?

Never used SourceSafe for ASP.NET content, is that another thing to consider?
