Tortoise SVN & Ankh/Visual SVN?

I recently acquired a new position and found that they had no Version Control.

I'll be spending most of my time in Visual Studio, and in the past I've used (pre-installed by previous companies) AnkhSVN and Visual SVN, and they all used Visual SVN as their SVN.

I would like to continue using either AnkhSVN or VisualSVN plugins for Visual Studio. I'm trying to do this on the cheap, and I've had a little TortoiseSVN experience so I thought about going that way.

Question: If I install TortoiseSVN to a network drive, can I use AnkhSVN and/or VisualSVN Visual Studio plugins with it? What other alternatives do you suggest if not?

I'm very comfortable using any number of SVN repositories, but I have heretofore never had to actually set one up for use with Visual Studio.

Thanks!

  • Question: If I install TortoiseSVN to a network drive, can I use AnkhSVN and/or VisualSVN Visual Studio plugins with it? What other alternatives do you suggest if not?

    This is a two part question.

    Can I create SVN repository in network drive?

    Yes. Once you install TortoiseSVN on your local computer, creating SVN repository is just a matter of right-click and "Create Repository here"

    Can I use AnkhSVN and/or VisualSVN Visual Studio plugins with it?

    Yes. AnkhSVN or any other plugin is independent of where the repository is located. You need to configure the path.
