Using Subversion clients with Team Foundation Server

There a new and very interesting project on CodePlex today.  It's a "bridge" that allows Subversion clients (like TortoiseSVN) to work against a TFS server.  This project has been created by the team that develops CodePlex itself due to the popularity of Subversion clients.  This bridge works at the protocol level by transforming the SVN protocol to the TFS protocol and back.  It's still in it's infancy but it's something worth keeping an eye on.

Here's the project: http://www.codeplex.com/SvnBridge

Keep in mind, of course, that using it still requires a TFS CAL, sorry - no free lunch here :)

Let me know what you think!

The only way I know of around the CAL today is to exclusively use CodePlex as your server (it has no CAL requirement).  There are some hosting companies working on a TFS offering that will allow you to pay a monthly fee for hosted TFS rather than buy a server a CALs.
