So I had a mishap happen with my project the other day and I decided, finally, to get a version tracking system. I had heard a lot about SVN and used TortoiseSVN occassionaly to get the latest versions of subsonic, jQueryMVC, ffmpeg and a few other projects. So I looked around for something that could integrate well with Visual Studio 2008. I ran across VisualSVN, downloaded the trial, and I'm now hooked! It's a really good price too (I have yet to purchase it though). Anyways, TortoiseSVN allows you to easily create your repository and you get a cool SVNAdmin tool which you can use to backup your repository (in combination with task cheduler).

So if you were like me and you keep hearing about SVN this and SVN that... jump in, the water is warm :) You're wasting productivity by not checking it out!
