Administering SVN on windows

[Dipesh <di...@patni.com>]

Hi All,
Currently i am working on SVN under Linux environment, but I want to
access SVN on windows. So please tell me how to administer various tasks
like : Backup, Restoration, Adding/ Deleting users and giving
permissions to users etc on windows.
Is there any tool to handle all these activities? else how I as an CM
will do these tasks.
Any help welcome.


With Regards,
Dipesh

Are you saying you want to access your linux repository with a windows client? Or, that you want to move your repository to a windows server?

If the latter you might want to check out VisualSVN server. http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

It gives you a UI to manage stuff like this on a Windows server. It is free. From the web site:

"VisualSVN Server is a package that contains everything you need to install, configure and manage Subversion server for your team on Windows platform. It includes Subversion, Apache and a management console."

It works pretty much the same. There's a Win32 command-line package
which works the same as the Linux equivalent. Python & Perl can both
be installed on Windows if you have any scripts/tools that depend upon
those. User management depends slightly upon how you're serving the
repository and doing user authentication, but it generally works the
same as well.

Set up a test server (you would anyway, right?) and experiment.
