Whats the easiest way to setup a local subversion server?

I used TortoiseSVN, created a directory (C:\Repositories) then used the menu command "Create Repository Here.

1 — I've used TortoiseSVN for a couple of years now and no idea it could do that! :-) – Ben Blank May 13 '09 at 18:39.

I would second Visual SVN server which is free and will have you up and running in a few minutes. It hooks up SVN over HTTP however and for a local Subversion installation that might not be necesary. If you'd rather run just setup Subversion 'manualy' the following is a walk through of the process with focus on Visual Studio usage: west-wind.com/presentations/subversion.

Just create a local svn repository and use a file:// based urls for them source code. Shouldn't need to have a specific. Running, server instance for this.

visualsvn.com/ That should help with your integration issues.

I recommend using subversion as a local host for the files with tortoise tortoise for browse integration or/and ankhsvn for intergration with vs2008.

Check for visualsvn.com/ for the server and TortoiseSVN for the client. Check for AnkhSVN for integration with Visual studio 2008.

I would recommend Toirtoise SVN its fairly easy to setup and use. Here is the documentation, its a must!

Rick Strahl, FTW! Another great walk-through on setting up SVN with windows comes from Jeff Atwood of Coding Horror: codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001093.html In a nutshell: Download/Install SVN, configure as windows service Install TortoiseSVN (or your SVN GUI of choice). I recommend sticking with Tortoise, since there have been anecdotal horror stories of using SVN clients integrated with VS Create a repository (either through CLI or GUI client.

I don't think recommending against VS integration helps. It's painful to manually deal with renames and moves, especially when doing refactoring (because that renames the files on disk without performing svn rename). – Sander Rijken May 13 '09 at 22:39 True it is a PITA - we use Tortoise SVN w/o VS integration at my shop - but we tried to use VS integration and some people had huge problems with checking files in/out, merging, etc... maybe they were using an inferior client, but because of those problems is why I'm cautioning against it – Josh E May 14 '09 at 13:37.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
