Doesn't it use the TSVN DLLs? I am required to install TSVN prior to
installing VSVN.

Honestly if I were the one making the decisions I probably would have
opted for Ankh 2.1 (the SVN 1.6 client). Honestly, I'm too new to the
world of .NET development to know the pros/cons and availability of
plugins out there for VS. I do know it's a heck of a lot more expensive
than Java development (my real background). There's a lot I've taken
for granted now that I've left the world of Java development.
If (and this is a big if) VSVN uses the same approach as the Java SVN
plugins, the only thing that directly touches the repository would be
TSVN. But one thing I've learned in my switch to the .Net world is
don't expect things to be logical. The Java plugins would use the Java
bindings for the SVN client, and the bindings would work across client
upgrades. All you had to do was upgrade the SVN dll in the PATH and it
would work. Maybe it's a vain hope, but I would hope that VSVN uses the
same approach with TSVN.
