Script Repository Software
Does anyone know of a good script repository software?
I joined a company that actually has had a lot of good engineers so there are hundreds of scripts scattered around and I would love to be able to sort them.
PowerGUI doesn't seem to be what I want as they deal with automatically running scripts by clicking on them. If I'm wrong then just let me know.

What exactly are you looking for? Something that can store scripts and allow you to sort by different catagories, etc? -

Some of the options I would like are:
* Check in/Check out option with automatic renaming of the scripts to another file extension to prevent accidentally running of another script.
* Be able to store version/owner information in the repository.
* Sort/Search for scripts.
* Store each script as a package. Meaning if a script requires 5 files to run (like a script to install a patch), be able to easily see/download those files by clicking on the script.
* Option to easily see general purpose.
If there isn't anything like this then we can probably make a Sharepoint site or use our developers code check in software. It would be nice to know how everyone else stores their scripts for their environment too. -

Well I was actually going to suggest SharePoint. We use Subversion here, but it does not have most of the organizational features you are talking about - at least not that we use or that I have heard of.
One thing to be wary of is mapping drives to a SharePoint lib that requires checkin. You would probably want to do this for the script developers to allow them easier access. When users upload via WebDav to a library that requires check-in the item looks as if it is not there to everyone else in the world until the user goes through the web interface and checks it in.
So I see some potential issues in SharePoint as well. I'd be sure to check out Subversion with Tortoise SVN before you go to SharePoint.
