Tortoise SVN






The coolest interface to sub version control.TortoiseSVN is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows. It is based on Subversion. TortoiseSVN provides a nice and easy user interface for Subversion. 
It is developed under the GPL. Which means it is completely free, including the source code. But just in case you don't know the GPL too well: you can use TortoiseSVN to develop commercial applications or just use it in your company without any restrictions.
Since it's not an integration for a 
specific IDE like Visual Studio, Eclipse or others, you can use it with whatever development tools you like. 
As a Subversion client, TortoiseSVN has all the features of Subversion itself, including:
  • Most current CVS features.
  • Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned.
  • Commits are truly atomic.
  • Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations.
  • Efficient handling of binary files.



My Review:

1) Who can use this tool?
a) This tool is mainly intended for developers and producers who need to keep in track of daily updates during the course of production. This is a very useful product and is available for completely free of cost.

2) Can we use it for commercial production?
a) Yes, of course you can use it completely free for production.

3) How long have been you using this tool?
a) I have been using this tool for about more than 2 years. We use this tool at my office and at home for some personal development stuff.

4) How to setup for personal development use?
a) Download and install the software first and go for a system restart. You can see a new option available on regular right click. Now got for settings and customize as required. Once done you can now use this for downloading a project by giving the repository path into your system easily. To create a repository of your own and to maintain the version ids etc... please go through the manual provided by tortoise svn.

5) How do you rate this product?
a) 4/5 (overall)
