I use TortoiseSVN too - would certainly recommend it to anyone looking=20
for a version control system, pretty easy to get started (and well=20
documented)
You can actually use it (and other VCS) direct from MPLAB, just set the=20
VCS in the options and direct it to the exe file. I just do as Isaac=20
mentions above though (I tried it but didn't work for me, didn't have=20
time or inclination to figure out why when the standard way works just=20
fine anyway)
