Instructions for Using SVN Clients

Instructions for Using SVN Clients


Windows

Tortoise SVN

ASAM recommends to use the TortoiseSVN client application for Windows operating systems. The application directly integrates into the Windows File Explorer and provides SVN client commands via the context menu. TortoiseSVN also works well with some Explorer-replacement products such as SpeedCommander.

You can download the latest version of TortoiseSVN at http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html.

TortoiseSVN Version 1.8.2 has been tested with the ASAM SVN server and is guaranteed to be compatible. However, newer versions should also work as TortoiseSVN is typically backward-compatible to earlier server versions.

If you want to install an older version of TortoiseSVN, you can find earlier releases at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tortoisesvn/files/

If you are still working with Windows XP, please make sure that the Windows Installer (MSI) is installed on your work station. You can find the latest version of the Installer at
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8483

Please follow the Installation and Configuration Instructions for TortoiseSVN.

He will request access to the SVN server with corresponding access rights from ASAM for you. The SVN administrator will then send to you the login and password information.

If you have correct access rights, but you encounter technical problems while working with the ASAM SVN server, then please consult first the SVN Client FAQ page. It might already contain the answer to your problem.
