Solved! (was: Re: WinXP Client; recommendations?)
Thanks to all who replied (and there were a lot!!) :)
I didn't realize that the install:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
was the client (looked like the server). This does the job perfectly,
thank you!
As for why I am not using TortoiseSVN, it wasn't a problem with the
program itself but with the installer. It requires installing an updated
MS Installer (in SP2) which was more than I am willing to do to install
one program. I am sure the program itself is great. :p

For Win2k you still need SP3 or SP4 - it (apparently - untested) will not
work on SP2 or lower.

You may want to check out an earlier version of TortoiseSVN, which can be
installed on Win2K SP2. I use v1.2.6, which is compatible (as far as I am
aware) with any more recent version of the SVN server, though possibly with
reduced functionality. It is avilable here.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tortoisesvn/TortoiseSVN-1.2.6.4786-svn-1.
2.3.msi?download
Note that if you are also planning to use the command-line client you will
probably need to get matching versions - in particular SVN 1.4.0 uses
incompatible working copies.

I agree completely, but at this moment it isn't feasible. Once it's done
though, I'll certainly look into TortoiseSVN. :)

Unless you have software or some other requirement/restriction that
prevents you from installing SP2, you really should install it anyway,
just for the massive security fixes it includes. Eventually you'll
have to as more programs start requiring the newer installer and
features/fixes that are included in it as well.

Madison,
if you are hesitating whether to install SP2 just in order to update your
installer, there is surely another solution.
You can download and install a new version of just the installer and nothing
else at

-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c
It's a matter of minutes until you get TSVN up and running after that.
Enjoy,
Thomas
