Subversion Recommendation

Joan M

I have tortoise and svn as two different packages. one is the subversion server... the other one is the client. It seems that the subversion server has been changed and now it can have different flavours: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html[^] Before you could download it from http://subversion.tigris.org/[^] but it seems that now it it part of apache and therefore the change... I'm interested on following this post... let's see what others say... (I had in mind asking something similar soon). :thumbsup:

There's always Mercurial. [Update] Almost forgot - Mercurial also has TortoiseHg. [/Update]

I second Hans' proposition about SVN+Tortoise. Easy and reliable.

Mike Hankey

I also agree with Hans on the Tortoise+SVN and I would add either AnkhSVN or RocketSVN for VS.

Joan probably has more recent info, but you could look at: Version Control for the Standalone Programmer - Part 1[^]

The SVN website had 4 or 5 different Windows' versions for SVN. I needed a recommendation on which one to use. No Visual Studio integration needed.

No VS integration.

It's not for programming. Mostly Word documents. No Visual Studio or any other programming IDE.

I'm using VisualSVN and Ankh.

Amit Sk Sharma

visual SVN is good option but as you need stand alone one, Tortoise SVN works fine.

Sorry, I meant VisualSVN+Tortoise.

I'd say definitely go with TortoiseSVN. Single download and install and you have everything you need to connect to your SVN server. Works really well.

Nope. I can't recommend anything that is free in this genre. The absolute BEST version control software I've ever used was StarTeam. Unfortunately, it's expensive as hell (if it;'s even still available).

Git would be the alternative to Hg. IIRC Hg's got a better windows toolchain while GITs is better for Linux (might have something to do with it being Linus's brainchild :rolleyes: ).

I've used StarTeam. I'll have to agree that it's relatively easy to use.

Then use TortoiseSVN, not VisualSVN. Besides, it's cheaper We use both and both have been solid

Don't have a server per se. I have three Win7 computers accessing data on a fourth.

Bassam Abdul Baki

Thanks! I'll look into it. My other issue is I don't have a server. Just three Win7 computer sharing data on a fourth. No server, no domain.

That's fine - however you have your SVN repository setup should be ok. TortoiseSVN is a free Windows app that will let you access your SVN repository. And the download contains everything you need to do that, its very easy to use, etc. imo its the way to go if you're using SVN.

Dave Calkins

How are you planning on hosting your SVN repository? I believe you can use straight file:// access but they advise against this from what I've read. Anyway, assuming you somehow get an SVN repository setup, TortoiseSVN is a good client.
