i was running tortoisecvs at work for awhile, and i absolutely hated it – but not as much as i ended up hating wincvs, which i tried next. just last friday i switched to smartcvs (www.smartcvs.com). hopefully i like that a bit more – it seems nice so far, but i only had a few minutes to play with it.
I just recently hooked up with a web hosting provider that offers SVN as a default feature. This Windows client might be the incentive I need to actually try SVN out.
Tortoise SVN…. Really makes ur system move as slow as a tortoise..
After installing it my machine started to crawl like anything… Why can’t it be a application that can be used when I want to interact with my server …. why should it be a extension to the explorer… making my explorer toooooooooooo slow……………
Is there any CVS Repository browser available as Windows Application. Something like in VSS. It’s too inconvinient to work with web version in local network.
Like Rajesh, I had trouble with TortoiseSVN slowing down my system as well. I’ve installed it on multiple machines. Some of them had no problem, but some of them slowed down to a crawl.
RapidSVN isn’t Tortoise – therefore I like it. The whole explorer intergration thing seems like a good idea until you realise that explorer isn’t that great for managing code to start with, and it only gets worse with the weird icons tortoise uses.
True, I hate adding things to explorer, and right mouse button, registry etc… Makes you windows run like turtle definetly.
However I had nice experiences using tortoise, but it runs TSVN cache at you system startup. Therefore I am searching for another client also.

I have TortiseSVN running on a few Windows boxen at work, at it works very nicely. Shame the OS X equivalent is so buggy.
OS X is lacking a genuinely good graphical SVN client at the moment, but give it six months and I think this will change.

I find TortiseSVN even better then TortiseCVS. SVN is most definately the way to go.

try http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/ for a windows stand-alone client, if you don’t like the explorer integration of tortoiseSVN
I love tortoiseSVN after playing with other clients. If you have 64 bit windows be sure to try the 64 bit version at: http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/downloads

RapidSVN doesn’t mess with Explorer! 🙂

Thanks guys on links provided, will test those clients.
For svn server, there is some free host:
https://opensvn.csie.org/
and I have account on site5.com which lets you run your ovn svn’s. It’s setup trough ssh, there is tutorial on how to do it here http://www.julianyap.com/wiki/index.php?title=Subversion_on_Site5
You guys can switch off or at least configure the TSVN cache to do a shallow scanning so that it would not make your system crawl.
Go to Settings -> Look and Feel -> Icon Overlays -> Status Cache -> (*) None.
Alternatively, you can ask it to not recursively scan all the folder by setting the option to (*) Shell
Hope it helps.
We´ll there are now couple of pretty cool SVN clients for the mac… (4 years later):
– http://www.zennaware.com/cornerstone/ Cornerstone
– http://www.versionsapp.com/
Versions
Cornerstone looks more interesting to me…
Try SVNX for Mac.
