Version Controling

Today I moved from Visual SourceSafe to subversion, an open source Version Control System for a large number of platforms.

Having used CVS in the past with tortoise I was intrested Subversion especially as tortoiseSVN make the client's control very simple wit it's functionality. 

The tools are very powerfull and there are lots of them things like steppign back revisions, creaing and apply patches, browsing modified Files and thier approiate changes, reviewing the repository via IE and Branching too.  I am very impresed and I will deffinatly be using this for some time now. And there is even a subversion book.

Although there is a problem (apperently) where Web Projects have to be converted to a Class Library.  This doesn't really bother me as work around is very simple and actually sorts out some gripes I have about the Web Projects and thier need to be associated to IIS.  Once converted the projects actually load in th VS.net a great deal quicker too.

Thumbs' up to the subversion team :)
