It seems this topic has taken on a life of its own. :) I have much to review and consider.
I hate to disappoint all, but seeing as I am the only developer on this project, and I am already in possession of VSS, I will most likely see what I can do to integrate this to my Delphi IDE. (Remember I am only using 6.0) On again, thanks to all for such enthusiastic discussion.

(but ugh). Okay, you got me : we used a database ;) The logic doesn't change, but yeah each of these is pretty much 1 sql change. And yeah, we have backup procedures that we get for free and that are frickin overkill for a source repository. And yeah, we don't have a serious number of developers either. But we've ended up with a lightweight, ultra-modifiable, ultra backed up repository. (And waay off of Eric's problem, but potential to easily tie in to timesheets, projects, bug tracking, workflow... if or when we want).
