It can also REALLY help with tracing bug tickets and collecting information for release notes.

What would be kind of cool is have a code inspection tool inside Visual Studio where you can hover over an area, click a few buttons and magically retrieve comments on previous commits of the section of code you're looking at...maybe VisualSVN has it, need to check it out.

I also like to comment my commit, whenever I commit my code to the source control. It not only helps others who are working on the same project, but it also helps me when I checkout the code after sometime, by looking at the commit comments I could see why I did this and that. Very nice Shey.
