VSS to SubVersion

We made the switch from VSS to SubVersion last night and, so far so good.  We were hitting up against VSS limitations with branching and merging and SubVersion looks like it can handle this better.  It's going to take a while to get use to the whole 'a file is not locked' concept but in theory we like the idea.

SVN supports locking if you need it.

VSS supports checkouts without locking, if you need it. Anyway, I'm a big fan of svn, great choice.

Try using http://ankhsvn.tigris.org/ to wrok with VS2003/VS2005.

It integrates with the Visual Studio very well.

Ankh 2.0 is built like a source control provider...so it integrates into VS2005/2008 really well.
