I have said it multiple times in the past. If you are still using CVS, you owe it to yourself to go check out Subversion. It’s CVS++.
This article will help get you up to speed by offering tips that many CVS users would find really helpful in getting them started with Subversion.
Although the interfaces are similar, there are some important differences. Subversion has some features that CVS either lacks or offers differently; plus, there’s the need to unlearn some of the bad habits that CVS has instilled in you.

2Great question JC. I do not have a great answer to provide you with though. I am sure there is a way and I am sure you are the man to find out that way.

3yeah. We’re looking to change from VSS to something a little more robust and a lot less clunky, but it has to work with both dreamweaver and websphere appdev/eclipse. Funny you posted this today, I just searched in here for all the source control posts yesterday.

5There are no plugins for those IDE’s, however we (and a lot of people) just use TortoiseSVN, which is a windows explorer plugin for Subversion. This means that anyone with Windows Explorer can checkout/checkin/etc. This nulls any worries over IDE’s and makes it easy for designers using photoshop, business analysts using visio and developers using VS/Websphere/Eclipse!
