Hi,
In my organization, not being able to use Subversion with VS.NET / ASP.NET will be a showstopper for adoption. We do a lot of development with VS(.NOT and .NET); a lot of it ASP.
I happen to be doing mostly Java and so far I'm the only subversion user. The others use SourceSafe but I know that they're not so happy with it. If there's something better, and it integrates with VS.NET, they might give it a try. But if it breaks with ASP.NET development, it's a no-go...
And I think that this is true for a lot of corporations / corporate users: VS.NET is an important platform and ASP(.NET) is increasingly important in corporate environments.
The more Subversion is seen as a 'unixy thing' the more it will hinder adoption and this problem with the '.' and IIS / ASP.NET will be an obstacle.
That said - when you develop for IIS / ASP.NET, you generally don't want to bother with setting up an *Apache* webserver too ;-) And messing around with unixy daemons like svnserve is probably not your way of life too ;-)
Just adding my 2cents - it would be nice for me to promote subversion in my organization but if not then not. I like it, I use it for the things I do myself, and I'm happy to have something better than ClearCase ;-)

What percentage of potential users of subversion is going to be developing
Because that is what we are talking about. This is NOT a windows bug.

When are the masses going to be equal to ASP.NET on IIS developers?
