my company migrated from VSS to SVN a year ago. the main
issue is not technical, but psicologycal : stubborness and closed
minds. some people can't / don't want to move away from the
lock / unlock model. they also get scared about the possibility of
somebody is touching "their" file. have them read this is useful, but
perhaps not enough: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.basic.vsn-models.html
about tools, as people pointed out, tortoise should be enough. users
end up not missing the VS drop-down menus since these are not really
necessary (all files are "checked-out" by default). a training / discussion
session can be useful too.
