I actually have two questions, here.  The first is fairly specific,
the second a general request for advice:

1.  How do you all handle source code labels for hotfix files?  Are
there any so-called best practices?  I have a large application which
occasionally requires hotfixes (I know, I'm shocked too) for certain
files, but rarely to entire projects.  What frustrates me is that I
can't label those files that are included and then select a top level
project for that label and have *only* those files returned.  It seems
that I have to label the entire project in order to query the project
for a label.  I can't query the project for descendant files with a
given label.  That means that hotfixes have to be compiled in a *very*
manual way.

2.  I think I've finally convinced the powers that be to let me invest
the time/money/energy to move away from VSS and to SVN (which appears
to be becoming the industry standard for source control).  Can SVN
handle the problem I'm having with #1 and, second, can anyone suggest
any good reference material that might get me started with
understanding SVN, its differences from VSS, etc.?

I know this is probably *way* off topic, but any suggestions, advice
or reference material suggestions would be much appreciated.
