There’s a nifty tool called VisualSVN, which comes with a separately usable server (free) and VS client plug-in ($49). You can get by with the server and use the included management console plug-in to handle check-in, check-out, branching and merging. The client plug-in delivers nice integration into Visual Studio’s solution explorer and a full-service menu to boot. The server includes Subversion 1.6.9.
If you are switching from TFS to SVN you’ll want to make sure and unbind your solution and component projects from TFS using File –> Source Control –> Change Source Control. If you don’t do this you risk getting confused results, because the normal TFS sub-menu items like “check-in”, “get latest version”, etc. do not map to VisualSVN. SVN is a separate collection of items toward the bottom of the sub-menu for elements in Solution Explorer. Unbinding removes TFS from the Solution Explorer sub-menu.
