sql server reporting services : Source Control for reporting services

Hi,

What source control software can people recommend to me for use with
Reporting Services in Visual Studio.

Our requirements are a central store for source files, Visual Studio
integration and versioning.

I've just installed MS Team Foundation server trial and it seems like
complete overkill, and over-complicated for what we want.

Thanks,

Peter

I have not tried it, but SourceSafe should work the same for Reporting
Services as it does for any Visual Studio project. A copy of the RDL file
is saved locally, so you can check in and check out that file. I would
recommend creating a single Visual Studio project for all the reports from a
particular project, and add each report to that project.

or.. a couple of projects

from what i've seen; i can't have 2 subreports that are called the same
thing in the same project.. I just wish that we could create folders
and subfolders in our BIDS projects so that we could keep these RDL
files organized in some logical manner..

for example; im writing 44 reports right now; and i've got this other
project where im going from an old version of the subReport / Header to
a new version; and it's just a big old pain.. since i've effectively
got to use a different project for each version; so i can use the
report with both versions of the subReport to see how it works.

anyone else got any pointers on using a lot of different subReports?

I just wish that I could make a super-project-- a project of other
projects in BIDS

in other words; have one project-- that has 3 sub project with their
own directory structures

I need to be able to test different copies of subReports against a few
other reports-- and it's kindof a pain otherwise
