TortoiseSVN is the most popular general Windows Subversion client.
Given how different Subversion is from VSS (no constant need to lock
files to edit them, just commit everything when you're done), the need
to have a client within VSS is substantially reduced.
However, when dealing with file moves and renames, I believe you can get
better behavior by using AnkhSVN (free) or VisualSVN (commercial but
cheap), which integrate into Visual Studio. It's worth adding that
TortoiseSVN 1.5 handles file moves and renames better (when committing,
I think it lets you link up the "deleted" file to the "added" file to
become a move or rename operation).
If you have TortoiseSVN questions, you'll want to use the
users_at_tortoisesvn.tigris.org list.

Hey
I am trying to replace Visual Source Safe with Subversion.
My users are happy with all the features Subversion has to offer. The
question arose however...How does Subversion interface with other
Microsoft products like Visual Studio? My developers have drop down menu
items for VSS in Visual Studio (Both Microsoft Products). Is anyone
using Visual Studio with Subversion? If so then how easy is the
interface (if any). I cannot seem to find info about this in the
Subversion book.
Thanks
Ken Fallon
