I personally found VisualSVN a little frustrating, and I would not recommend them. Searching for a source file in the web app takes forever. It is painfully slow. And trying to search their mailing list or web forums is a no-go because they don't have them. There's no body of knowledge to search for solutions to problems like slow search. Jeff I have found VisualSVN's support very responsive, but we ($dayjob) are on one of the paid license tiers. Cheers, Daniel
