I'm a single developer looking to get off of Visual Source Safe and move to svn.
A quick search brings up several tools, but I don't see a clear winner and I can't afford to spend a lot of time testing different tools.
Has anyone done this successfully, and can recommend a method?

Designed for small software development projects, VSS is typically used in an integrated mode with Microsoft Visual Studio. Like SVN, it maintains a central database where all the project related files and documents are stored along with the history of the changes to the files over time.
SVN is a popular tool for code hosting. It is used to manage different versions of files like source code, documentation and more. It keeps history and project data. Subversion is an open-source tool and comes under the Apache License.
I recommend just adding your code to a new Subversion repository rather than importing from VSS. VSS has a convoluted version control model that doesn't translate well to many other systems, and just starting fresh is usually the best way to avoid taking that clutter with you.
If you need to keep the history around, make your VSS repository read-only.
