you should just create a dummy project and try stuff.

checkin with and without comments
do some labels
do more checks
play with pinning.
try a branch.
try a merge to branced code
view history after each of this steps.
try using compare.

after you understand vss, then you can desgin your application structure.
how are you handling mainline, releases, and patches to releases.
