Small footprint and the ability to readily install a new server are just two. On the client end, not so much. I like my Source Control integrated into Visual Studio and I've not found a compelling replacement for AnkhSVN that I like nearly as much as TFS/VSS integrated Source Control. Also, while TFS is 10000% better than VSS over the network, SVN still wins. I will say though, at this point, there is no comparable story on the SVN front for TFS. Yes there are tools you can piece-meal together for tracking Issues with checkins, but it's rather loose and cumbersome. I think there are slightly different, though merging, audiences for SVN and TFS at this point. A MiniTFS would be my personal request from the Team. A version build on SQL Express or Compact Edition that I can do a no-touch deployment of on my machine and just run. No IIS needed, just self hosted WCF services.

Thanks for posting. Also, you have to be fair to SVN and CVS. You're comparing apples to oranges. SVN and CVS weren't designed to be a full SDLC tool. I agree TFS rocks and it's version control is getting better and better. When you compare TFS's vc to SVN, SVN still wins. Ryan-
