What an awesome community, some great best practices on RIA. Thanks Jim,
Campbell, Mike, Glenn, Karthik, Judah and Ian!
Summarizing Source Control for RIA:
1. Always code outside the FLA (obvious, but not always practiced)
2. Locking Model (MS SourceSecure) vs. Merging Varieties (CVS and
Subversion)... Merging seems to be widely more excepted based on
"owning" of code..
2. For Sourcecontrol Subversion is a better solution than CVS (5 to 1
preferred SVN over CVS)
3. Eclipse SDE & FDT = Integrates well with Subversion via Subclipse
plugin but is expensive (FDT = $199 Euro's!)
4. Eclipse & ASDT = Same Integration with Subclipse but looks like ASDT
is still in pre-alpha
5. SE|PY & Subversion = Another bootstrapping solution
6. TortoiseSVN provides the same degree of integration as Subversion but
with the Windows explorer shell.
7. Concluding, Nothing is better than following good object-oriented
coding practices and great APIs...
"In my experience, following good object-oriented coding practices and
deciding upon our APIs well in advance have helped us to minimize
drastic changes to our code of the sort that necessitate widespread
manual merges."

Againg thanks for your help! Some awesome lessons learned.
