What tools do you use when integrating with Subversion on Windows? [closed]

Answer 1

I have used both AnhkSVN and TortoiseSVN and have to highly suggest using TortoriseSVN for your interaction with your SVN server. Within Tortoise are a few tools that you may use for stats, but really, the biggest things you will use it for is your normal updates and commits, and then merging and branching.

Since you are using this on a "personal" project, I assume you will be the only person in the project, so branching is probably not a concern for you.

There are also a number of tools you may want to look into that integrate with SVN. For example, you may want to automate builds of your code whenever a change is committed to the server. In this case you could setup a Cruise Control server link text that then reads your SVN server every X minutes looking for changes. If a change is found, it does its thing.

I have not used this product, but Trac is a pretty common project management tool to use with SVN: link text

Another SVN provder that has not been listed is Assembla. I have used this and really enjoyed it. However, I already had an Unfuddle account, so I have continued using Unfuddle.

Answer 2

I like the Bitten plugin for Trac. It provides continuous integration support by enabling different tasks to be automatically performed when specified paths inside the repository are updated.

I recently used this with a web-based system I was working on to automatically deploy the most recent version of our prototype to our development server from the repository

Answer 3

SMARTSVN, TkSVN, Subversion native client, Subclipse.

I personally very much dislike Tortoise because it install a daemon that eats ~10MB in idle mode.

Answer 4

Apart from those already mentioned, I have my SVN install integrated with Mantis, its straightforward, but I did modify my post-commit hook so it tries the regexp in the hook to check whether to update a bug or not (for performance).

I also use Doxygen to build documentation for my code, its triggered from a post-commit hook too. When a directory with the x.doxy config file is committed, that directory is written to a file and a cron runs doxygen on a export of those sources at midnight.

Answer 5

I highly suggest Visual SVN. It's pretty cheap and basically extends the functionality of Tortoise into Visual Studio. They both work well together.

Answer 6

Ankh plugin for Visual Studio http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/

Tortoise http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
