So now the next step is to convince my boss to implement and use svn and that it will not complicate things to much (even less).

I by myself work on both, windows and linux (ubuntu) but server is windows. And convincing my boss to switch to linux or even to apache (using IIS atm) is not possible... already tried ;)But at the next meeting I will bring up SCP... the university network I think is already supporting it, so maybe it won't be to complicated... (server is part of the network... but true, the network mostly uses linux...)
