we changed 6 moths ago and have never looked back. even people who were
used to using checkin/outs via Visual Studio have come to love/like SVN
- transition was pretty smooth and it took relatively short time for
people ti get used toi the new model (few of them knew CVS already).
we are now looking forward to either team system or the new VSS. of
what i have seen and heard and read up untill now, neither of these
support *ANY* (useful) feature (source control wise) that we don't
already have in subversion.

eh, can you please explain exactly what VSS sharing can do that the
svn:externals property can not do more elegantly?
