Hello all,

In terms of version control system I've decided to continue with subversion, after reading about GIT a lot I've thought that it can be interesting, but the industrial software that allows me to program machines is compatible only with subversion so... there is not a real choice here.

Now, things are changing, and meanwhile I want to maintain the compatibility with the old version control system, I'll be able to start using visual studio as the development environment. As this is happening now I'm not tied to any specific client.

Now my two questions:

1. I've seen in the APACHE site that there are some different options as subversion server:

• CollabNet (supported and certified by CollabNet; requires registration)
• SlikSVN (32- and 64-bit client MSI; maintained by Bert Huijben, SharpSvn project)
• VisualSVN (client and server; supported and maintained by VisualSVN)
• WANdisco (32- and 64-bit client and server; supported and certified by WANdisco)
• Win32Svn (32-bit client, server and bindings, MSI and ZIPs; maintained by David Darj)

Which are the differences between them?

2. When working with Visual Studio, what would be your recommendation?
I've seen ankhsvn as a good option, but I've never used it and I don't know pros and cons.
I've been working with Tortoise and I'm quite happy, but what can I expect from Ankhsvn? which would be the advantages and are other softwares there?

As always, thank you in advance. :thumbsup:

Take a look at my post on Git here : http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4243086/Git.aspx[^]

As for SVN, on the clients side usually TortoiseSVN is sufficient, I have used Ankhsvn and it is very good also (although it requires full VS versions and will not work on Express), choosing which is a matter of personal preference.

Server side there is no question in my mind VisualSVN is the best, easy to install and run.
