You can get the same integration with any source control system that supports MSSCC. Here is the TFS connector to do that http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/bce06506-be38-47a1-9f29-d3937d3d88d6/

>>>Integration is best with SSafe - and it works ok with small teams on a LAN. Breaks down with laaaaarge projects and sloooow internet if accessed from outside. Look at your project and developer/access characteristics first.

>>>>If one is "starting out fresh", as I am, with implementing version control, which system would you recommend. I have read on here where people are successfully integrating Vault with VFP... but Vault is not free. I have also read that Git is considered to be a "DVCS", distributed version control system, whereas Subversion uses a "traditional, centralized model". I also just read that Vault now integrates with a SQL Server version control system from RedGate... something that would be very important in this environment.
