I may need a hat or a crow
So I can eat it (No Scott, I will not go to that resturant again, I know they can probably serve both, but the salad scares me). Appernatly CodePlex is adding Subversion support. What I would really like to know if it would have the same integration that the TFS backend would have as well.
At any rate, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the CodePlex team, I would have never believed that you would do it, way to go!

Full credit to the codeplex team.... but it's a little mystifying, I would have thought getting feature parity for the TFS offering with whats out of the box in SVN would've been a much higher priority...
I think that those are two (very) different teams.
Ahh... that Would make sense... still the move certainly took me by surprise, I think my viewpoint on the direction/intention of Codeplex may be a little off the mark now... guess I'll just wait and see how it all ends up.
That all depends on how integrated it will be.
If they can get SVN integrated with the rest of TFS, that would be a great push to the TFS team to either: Pluggable SCM (not likely) or seriously improve the TFS SCM story.
Yeah, I suspect "not very" for the integration side of things... but then I didn't expect them to support SVN either - so I could be wrong.
Either way I certainly see it putting pressure on the delivery of TFS features that match SVN, or maybe even value add to "one up" them, it's not unimaginable that with a bit of work (And the resources that Microsoft can push into a project) they could surpass what SVN does well.
Honestly, I don't care about the integration side of things.
Haacked,
I can get SVN at SF.Net, Google Code, etc. If it is just SVN hosting, why do I care about CodePlex?
True. I do like some level of integration. Otherwise I'd just create a CodePlex project, but keep the SVN hosted at SourceForge.
Also, I do like trying to keep everything in one place. If I kept svn at sourceforge, then I might have users posting comments over there when I want them over here.
Also, when users come over to CodePlex, they'll see the CodePlex SVN url by default (once it's up). That could be confusing if the code is actually somewhere else.
So the short answer is I want the other things that CodePlex offers. And if I do move all that to CodePlex, I might as well move the code too so it's all in one place and a bit more integrated.
What I meant was I don't care about the SVN to work item integration. Though if they make it happen (like the fogbugz SVN integration) then I'm a happy camper. I don't get that at SF.
LOL, with the right mind control drugs, I bet I could get you to eat another greens salad.
I'd hold onto your hat a little while longer Oren.

UPDATE: Newer comments make it look like they are just setting up a bridge from TortoiseSVN to TFS. Not clear...
