I'm considering using SVN for my .Net projects, and I'd like to know what plugins are available for integrating the source control capabilities directly into the Visual Studio IDE.
I already know about the following Visual Studio extensions:
VisualSVN, which seems great but is not free. It is implemented as a low-level VS package extension. Is anyone using it?
AnkhSVN, which is free but I've heard it's a bit buggy. It is implemented as a VS add-in extension. Is anyone using it? are you experiencing problems? Edit: The 2.0 version is a complete rewrite and seems to solve the problem I've heard about (which were related to the 1.x versions)
Edit : TortoiseSVN + Mindscape's FileExplorer VS Extension, which is not a real IDE integration but somewhat eases the use of TortoiseSVN from Visual Studio.
Edit : I've found a few comparison posts between AnkhSVN and VisualSVN here, here and here.

Open or create new solution in Visual Studio. Then choose Add Solution to Subversion from the VisualSVN menu command and the wizard will open. Now you choose the directory where your code will be stored. VisualSVN can add your code to a new or an existing repository.
The professional grade Subversion integrationVisualSVN is a professional grade Subversion integration plug-in for Visual Studio. Key benefits of VisualSVN are: Unbeatable reliability: Visual Studio will never crash or hang because of VisualSVN.
VS Code itself does not support SVN, so the issue is in fact, related to those extensions. You should fill an issue in the extensions's repo, asking for the developer to add support for checkout command.
I've used AnkhSVN for the past year and I've never had a problem with it. I switch between that and TFS and some of the times I think I prefer AnkhSVN to TFS.

I use VisualSVN and it works great, but you're correct, it's not free. No experience with Ankh here.
