WinXP Client; recommendations?
Hi all,
I am afraid I am pretty out of touch with Windows these days. :)
There are a few programmers here at my office who I am trying to
setup to use subversion (which I have installed but am still somewhat
new with). I am getting fairly comfortable with the *nix 'svn' client
and would love a suggestion for a WinXP client that behaved in a
similar/same way (CLI preferably).
I've looked at TortoiseSVN but had some troubles with it. :/
Thanks in advance!!
Madison

Well AFIK, if you want CLI commands you have to install Subversion on
those Windows machines, then update/set the path to where Subversion
commands are, otherwise TortoiseSVN is the way to go.

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
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=889482fc
-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c
It's a matter of minutes until you get TSVN up and running after that.
Enjoy,
Thomas

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

If said users will only every checkout/update/commit, then tortoise is just
fine. Anything more than that and they will want to use the command
line for most operations.

The *nix svn client you're accustomed to runs on Windows as well.
There's even an installer for it.
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
has the zipped binaries.
See http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-09/0761.shtml for the installer.
You may want to check in with the TSVN mailing list for your
difficulties there; the client has been outstanding for me.

The standard Windows svn client works in an identical (*) way to the
UNIX client.
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html#windows
(*) barring OS/shell differences, etc.

Madison,
as you are quite comfortable with the "svn ..." CLI under *NIX, why not simply
use it under Windoze, too ;-) ?
Once you have your %PATH% include %<subversion_install_dir>%\bin, "svn ..." will
be glad to be at your command there.
Talking about TortoiseSVN ... what is it that makes you unhappy? Billions of
people around the globe are using it with pleasure, including me ;-)

Thomas
