If you want seamless integration, you can use a third-party tool like BSP's Integrated Control Suite:

There is a cost, of course - they don't give away their software for free.

If you want to use a generic source control system, there is always the option of taking the XML spec of a report (in Report Studio, go to Tools > Copy Report to Clipboard) and manually checking it in and out.

Cheers!
