I’ve been having to use Source Safe at work and it blows.
I’d like to switch to TortiseSVN but apparently when working over LAN things can become corrupt? Is that true? Is there anyway to bypass corruption?
At this point, even Source Safe is starting to corrupt things. (Terrible program…) Thanks!
TortoiseSVN works perfectly well over a LAN, together with a Subversion server.
There is a possibility in TortoiseSVN to work against a local, file based repository. If the file based repo is placed on a network drive I assume that things can break. Don’t do that.
Source Safe tries to do sharing based on a network share without a proper server software. It is very error prone. Don’t try to do anything similar with subversion.
The SVN server runs fine under both Windows and Unix. There are installers available for both platforms.
