I thought I installed Subversion years ago on my local PC, as well as TortoiseSVN. I just went looking and could not find any subversion folder, yet I can still check in/out of my repository with TortoiseSVN! No subversion or svn in services or in windows task manager. How the heck do I find it – or do I need it? I always thought I did? Confused!
If I don’t need it – is it then (subversion) only used to give access to other machines?
TortoiseSVN has subversion within it. Lets say you want to have a repository in D drive of your system. Now TortoiseSVN integrates within your right click menu. So create a Folder say svn_repository and within that right click and select option of creating a repository here.
It will create the repository. and SVN repo browser from the right click menu will give you full paths of the repository which can be checked in/out.
