Basically, I want to get an update of the standard command-line subversion client for Windows. I used to be able to get downloads of this quite easily, but it seems like registration is required these days.
I object to registration, but equally, I prefer not to use workarounds that e.g. involve registering with details that won’t stay valid.
I already have TortoiseSVN – this isn’t about clients in general, but specifically about the standard command-line client. I also don’t need the server stuff – just the client.
It looks like I can download the source, but building from that probably involves the usual dependency-finding issues and so on. As this is likely to be a recurring issue, I’d prefer to avoid it if possible.
I’ll be more than happy with a torrent link. Googling for that specifically, though, just leads to a lot of what look like pirate versions of commercial clients.
Any ideas? Or is there some good reason for collecting these registration details that might override my objections?
EDIT
Applogies to everyone I “sigh”ed at or whatever over SlikSVN suggestions. Clearly, I need to do better at avoiding making bad assumptions.
As you said, you can certainly download and build the source code; it’s free software under the Apache License 2.0. But if you want to download an executable without Collab’s registration, try SlikSvn.
