VISUALSVN URL UPDATE
When we collaborate on files all we’re looking for is the ability to share a file and for two or more people to be able to update that file. If we want to go back too our original version we just open the ‘first version’ of the document. We make changes and save a copy of the file as the “second version”. It just means we want to have a file that starts out as the “first version”. Version control of files is a simple concept in its own right. Let’s just go back to the main features of a version control system for a second. Tortoise SVN: the client application called Visual SVN, that allows you to manage your files locally, get your files from the server and commit your updated files to the server. Visual SVN Server: a server applications, the central repository that holds all the files you want to version control, called Visual SVN ServerĢ. We’re just using Visual SVN Server and Tortoise SVN client because they are quickest and easiest ways to use SVN and start learning about SVN. Then we have an independent Open Source project (GPL) called Tortoise SVN that provides a client front end for windows.

Separately to this, a company called VisualSVN Software Ltd have developed an SVN server application that works as a graphical front ends to the SVN server component. The home of SubVersion is the Apache Org Subversion website where you can download the source code (you’ll find many mirror sites that host the binaries for various platforms). It’s open source project and is predominately a command line tool (both for Windows and Unix). SVN has been developed by CollabNet and is currently maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. Add to this a graphical user interface called “Tortoise SVN” and this gives us the simplest and quickest way for individuals to collaborate on files and version control those files. SVN deployed with Visual SVN Server gives us a server environment within which to maintain our files. That is, it’s a tool that allows us to version control files and collaborate on files. Subversion (from here on in referred to as SVN) is a centralized Version Control System.
In this set of tutorials, we’re going to take you through the basics of Subversion with Visual SVN Server and Tortoise SVN.
