Ankh or Visual?
-
Haven't played with the new Ankh but can highly recommend VisualSVN, compared to the version of Ankh I tried a while ago it is vastly superior.

I do agree. VisualSVN. BTW, we had a similar thread[^] while ago. Strange that they voted me down there...

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

However I'd say *if* you're going to do this, use cygwin, since the extra unixy like features, while brain dead in and of themselves, are significantly more helpful to work with than the regular dos command shell.

Ankh...I've been using for about 6 mos. and I like it! Plays nice with visual and it's free. Mike

I vote for TortoiseSVN too, comes with a nice merge tool as well

VisualSVN for me, Tortoise outside of VS. The 'e' editor[^] is quite cool, in that it uses Tortoise to enable in-editor SVN integrated with the project file/directory tree - it's pretty neat, but you can get the same effect whenever you use Explorer views.

A lot of the previous posts suggest Tortoise. Tortoise is clearly a great extension of the Windows Explorer, a must have for SVN source control; however, it does nothing to Visual Studio, so is kind of missing the point of the discussion a little. I use AnkhSVN in VS, and they recently released a completely new redesigned version, it works fast and reliable now - and it is open source, so fine for me. I tried VisualSVN for a little while but stopped using it, forgot why. In either case both do not integrate with Trac, but Tortoise does, so I see in VS what is changed via Ankh, but use Tortoise to check in.

I use VisualSVN with TortoiseSVN and it works great. I also use their free VisualSVN server. I tried setting up other servers, but I am not keen on spending more time working with the server than working on my code. I also like that VisualSVN server can use encryption to send the data to and from the server. Since I work outside the network it is kind of nice.

With VisualSVN you have to have TortoiseSVN installed as it uses TSVN to do the work. So, if you go with VSVN than you get the best of both worlds for a small fee ($49 USD). If you are looking for free... ANKH. ANKH has its own interfaces that are slightly different than TSVN. I also like SourceGear DiffMerge[^] (free) that you can use with TSVN: TSVN Setting:
"C:\Program Files\SourceGear\DiffMerge\DiffMerge.exe" /t1=Base /t2=Mine %base %mineTo answer your question: Visual SVN b/c I like the TSVN interface for Committing and the use of SourceGear's DiffMerge in TSVN. -

In which case, you could just integrate Tortoise with VS on your own quite easily, and it works really well: http://blog.vorpal.cc/category/development/tortoisesvn-in-visual-studio.html[^] :-D

I agree. The latest version of Ankh is very good, and the price is right. I actually use both - Tortoise in Explorer and Anhk in Visual Studio. Both are great products. If you haven't used Ankh in a while, I suggest a fresh look may be worthwhile.
In my last contract I started with Tortoise and near the end additionally used Ankh (2.x). Both were fine, though I understand Ankh 1.x was ropey, but I never used that. Current contract is back to SourceSafe. :(
