TortoiseSVN – A Subversion client, implemented as a windows shell extension.
TortoiseSVN is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows.
Since it’s not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like.
TortoiseSVN is free to use. You don’t need to get a loan or pay a full years salary to use it.
Features:
# Easy to use
* all commands are available directly from the windows explorer.
* only commands that make sense for the selected file/folder are shown. You won’t see any commands that you can’t use in your situation.
* See the status of your files directly in the Windows explorer
* descriptive dialogs, constantly improved due to user feedback
* allows moving files by right-dragging them in the windows explorer
# All Subversion protocols are supported
* http://
* https://
* svn://
* svn+ssh://
* file:///
* svn+XXX://
# Powerful commit dialog
* integrated spell checker for log messages
* auto completion of paths and keywords of the modified files
* text formatting with special chars
# The big picture
* Can create a graph of all revisions/commits. You can then easily see where you created a tag/branch or modified a file/folder
* Graphs of commit statistics of the project
* Easy comparing of two branches or tags
# Per project settings
* minimum log message length to avoid accidentally committing with an empty log message
* language to use for the spell checker
# Integration with issue tracking systems
TortoiseSVN provides a flexible mechanism to integrate any web based bug tracking system.
* A separate input box to enter the issue number assigned to the commit, or coloring of the issue number directly in the log message itself
* When showing all log messages, an extra column is added with the issue number. You can immediately see to which issue the commit belongs to.
* Issue numbers are converted into links which open the webbrowser directly on the corresponding issue
* Optional warning if a commit isn’t assigned to an issue number
# Helpful Tools
* TortoiseMerge
o Shows changes you made to your files
o Helps resolving conflicts
o Can apply patchfiles you got from users without commit access to your repository
* TortoiseBlame: to show blames of files. Shows also log messages for each line in a file.
* TortoiseIDiff: to see the changes you made to your image files
* SubWCRev: to include the revision numbers/dates/… into your source files
