Cheaper alternative to VS Team Foundation Server

Is there a fairly inexpensive source control product on the market that integrates into Visual Studio 2008+ and that has the power and capabilities of Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server?

I have used Dynamsoft, SourceGear, Subversion and Platic SCM and reckon that neither of these products can come close to Team Foundation Server.

Ideally I would be interested in a product that:

  1. handles conflict resolution well
  2. handles IDE edits, renames and deletes automatically
  3. easy project management within the source control "server" that allows a project administrator to painlessly manipulate the project structure as they see fit.
Solution

  • Subversion with Tortoise SVN

    Here is an article by Rick Strahl on setting everything up.

    I used svn at my last job, and tfs at my current one. I can't say I really like having to deal with tfs on a day to day basis.
