Why not go as the pointy-haired boss? That will be a good test of YOUR boss's sense of humor.

We switched to SVN from VSS about 8 months ago, and we couldn't be happier. Not only is the SVN functionality exactly what we need, but the Tortoise interface makes "USING SOURCE CONTROL" very intuitive. We have had simultaneous development going on on multiple branches and have merged the branches painlessly. The "branching" and "pinning" in VSS never made any sense to us, and we could never figure out how to do what SVN made so easy to do. The only snafu was when I accidently checked out the trunk to the wrong working folder. When I realized what had happened I did an OS delete on that folder. I'm sure I was asked at least once to confirm the delete, but of course I wanted that folder deleted - it had all that source code in the wrong place! Unfortunately, that deleted everything from the repository as well. We recovered by checking out the revision preceding my delete and then commiting it. Now we just have a gap in the revision history for the trunk, because it looks like everything was "new" after the accident! -Alan Finger
