Fernando, I'll look into it. I have used VSS in the past and integration with the IDE was easy. Corruption wasn't that frequent with VSS but more than once was enough and a real PITA to deal with. I've not had any problems with TortoiseSVN, just lacking the IDE integration.. Sometimes, the ability to do things outside of the IDE has advantages.
