One answer is SharpSvn as an interface to AnkhSVN, see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnkhSVN[^],http://sharpsvn.open.collab.net/[^].Maybe you can consider a pretty simple approach: use command-line Subversion client which is available in every bundle and use...

There is no way. You didn't commit your changes, and SV(and anything else) doesn't track uncommitted code. When you check out and make some changes, all those changes are local to your machine. When you revert, your local copy is being overwritten by server's copy.So, you can see, server...

Please refrain from such hooks. If your code base is considerable in size, it may take a lot of time to check in based on the amount of time required to analyse.You should take a look at continuous build integration servers. These do a build and analysis in background.

I have multiple branches checked out from the trunk(codebase). When "svn merge" command is used for merging the branch code with the TFS, a sonar build must be triggered(using .bat file). Based on this result (errorlevel), it should be decided, whether the merge must be allowedor aborted.
