We used open-source cvs, but not integrated with the ND studio.

 From glancing at comments on the list, it does not appear that studio 
integration of source code control is smooth, no matter which product you use.

There are 2 related things that make life difficult:

1.  The fileset for an ND application object is objectname.* plus 
links/<significantnumber>_<less significantnumber>.sid

thus some sort of mapping needs to be done between the .sid file and the 
rest of the files.  With cvs, this was accomplished via a yellow pad.

2.  If you change one app object, ND will often or at least sometimes 
regenerate the .sid files for app objects you did not change, in a way that 
does not affect how ND processes the file, but which is detected as a 
change by version control systems.  I think it reorders the contents of the 
file.  If 2 people are working on different objects and doing an "update 
all" to the repository, conflicts will be detected if by chance, both local 
ND studios happen to regenerate the same .sid file for an object that 
neither person is intentionally changing in the studio.
