No clue about vsvn unfortunately, but one thing I did learn was how important it was to know have to use svn on the command line and that is all I do anymore (instead of visual GUI apps). Pays in the long run, IMO.

AFAIC I do not have to have this in source control, i.e. the reference that I am trying to check in are just dlls which are referenced at a specific path on my hard disk and for that purpose having them in source control doesn't matter. However putting it in source control allows me to "check them out" from any other machine which needs them, and further if I get a new version of a file (nlogs.dll for example) I can check it in and then check it out on other machines to get the latest. The whole point of source control really. So long term I really want to get this working. > > -- > John W.
