Dexterity Source Control

While working with Dexterity, I found myself in the situation that we had already created a few new builds and put them on the Visual Source Safe. However, the client wanted to get the build a few versions older than the previous one. Visual Source Safe does not have an opportunity to rollback some previous versions of code without losing new information. We were forced to rollback file by file and the new information had to be saved in local.

This situation could be resolved by using branching in TFS (Team Foundation Services). It allows us to support multiple releases at once. So, we can do bug fixing in some previous releases without losing the new one, which would also affect the new releases. But after some research I found out that TFS does not support connection with Dexterity and I have not found any other solution.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
