I am quite happy with VisualSVN over Tortoise. I have had a couple of conflicts that I had to settle but it wasn't a big deal. OTOH it is only Paul and I doing the development. We both found VisualSVN to be just dead simple to use and "if it ain't broke". I installed Mercurial but I did not uninstall VisualSVN and that was really confusing. I am open to Mercurial but it really seemed to be a solution for large team development, and specifically making specific things that I do not do easy to do (branching and such). At this point, I only have one project, and I am the only user and one of two users. John W.
