I use to love subversion, but then a year ago my company switched everything over to AccuRev, a source control tool that's known for managing the development process. I'm sure it wasn't cheap, but it works a lot better for our large development team. The only problem was that were weren't able to transfer our history in SVN to AccuRev, but our performance and release quality has really improved, and AccuRev requires a lot less administration than than and Subversion did. But I still use subversion for my own small projects at home.

Well I still haven’t tried VisualSVN. I did give a try to Ankh, and it was almost nice, but in my opinion it tries to do too much. All I really want is an indication of whether my files are committed or not, and a way to add them through the UI – I don’t want them to be renamed automatically, or added automatically, or in fact anything automatic. Ankh actually managed to mark a couple entire folders for deletion – needless to say I wasn’t too happy with that. But I did find out that it works pretty well when you disable the automatically adding of files.

I think you will find VisualSVN interesting. It provides Subversion integration for Visual Studio and uses TortoiseSVN for most of the UI.
