Question

I was reading this article on Coding Horror:

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/04/setting-up-subversion-on-windows.html

I went to the downloads and am confused. I would have just downloaded the first entry but I am afraid it would break my server or something if I don’t have apache. We use IIS only and I wouldn’t want to break it somehow. I don’t even need a web or webdav front end.

Which one should I install on this page, please:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91

thank you for any help.

edit: thanks for information, but I am hoping to stay free with the “regular” subversion. I plan on using TortoiseSVN for the client.

Edit: Please use http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows if you need recent Windows binaries.

Answer 1

From that list, you want the Setup-Subversion-1.5.6.msi. Don’t worry about the apache bindings, if you don’t use them, they won’t interfere. After you install the subversion executables, install TortoiseSVN on top, tortoise doesn’t include the svn executables.

edit: Strike that, you’ll want to get subversion 1.6.x. Check out the CollabNet distributions (http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/) and get the 1.6.9 build. That’s what the latest Tortoise is built against.
