I know there are tools.  Their names I can't remember right off.  I do 
know that there is an ANT task for this (ANT is a java based build tool) 
and there is this tool located http://www.sourcegear.com/sos/index.asp 
which I had looked at at one time.  However, I don't know about your 
development procedures, but there is a very nice source control system 
called Surround at www.seapine.com and it is probably the best source 
control system I have ever used.  It has some very nice features that 
Source Safe and no others I've seen can really compare to.  It is 
commercial of course.  They have servers and clients for Linux, MacOSX, 
and Windows.  It's very cool.  We use it at work for everything.  They 
also have a bug tracking tool that integrates with the source control to 
allow linking bugs with fixes  in source control.  We use that as well 
and it is called Test Tracker.  Thought I might turn  you on to 
something new.  Anyways, hope that helps a bit...
