Which Windows SVN server should I use?

On the SVN Windows binaries download page, there are a few to choose from:

Are there pros and cons to the different versions provided by the different organizations? Is there anything I should look out for?

Mainly, I just want something free that I will be running off my Vista laptop. Then I will probably do backups of the SVN files from time to time to an external hard drive.

Solution

  • We chose VisualSVN bec it makes it easy to use windows authentication instead of having a separate SVN user.

    Other benefits is an easy to use GUI for permission management and for managing SVN hooks.

    The one thing I'm not a real fan of is the web GUI. As far as I know you cannot view web based diffs, so if that makes a difference....
