Hi -

We have a small development team, and I'd like to move our CVS repository to Subversion. The server will be Linux, but all client access must be from Windows PCs.

Q: Any suggestions for the best way for our developers to use SVN from their Windows PCs?

Thank you very much in advance .. PSM

tortoisesvn?

or cygwin + subversion

We use Smart svn.

The client software is written in Java, so it doesn't matter what OS you use.

Hi -

Thank you both.

Just FYI, we're currently using WinCVS as our CVS client. It looks like SmartSVN might be a good equivalent. I'll definitely look at TortoiseSVN ... but if it's anything like TortoiseCVS (with the right-click UI), it probably won't be a good choice.

Q: When you say "cygwin + subversion", do you mean "pop up an Xwindow to the SVN server and use SVN in command-line mode"? If so, that probably wouldn't be a good choice for our team, either. For better or worse, they would definitely prefer a GUI interface...

Follow-on questions:

Q: has anybody tried Apache+WebDAV?
Q: How "user friendly" is it?
Q: Any other thoughts/suggestions about Apache+WebDev as a client UI for Subversion?

Thanx in advance .. PSM

I meant install cygwin on your client machine and use svn on the command line. It's what I prefer
