Are there any free alternatives to VisualSVN? [closed]

Question

Are there any free alternatives to VisualSVN (a Visual Studio 2008 plugin for subversion control)? Visual Studio Express 2008 support would be great.

Answer 1

I use and love AnkhSVN. I don't think VS 2008 Express supports add-ins or packages...

Answer 2

TortoiseSVN is a fantastic free alternative that integrates tightly with Windows Explorer, but not Visual Studio specifically.

It's interesting that this is so high since the question sounds like it's specifically for a Visual Studio plugin. I suppose people love their Tortoise plugins. My only complaint is the indexing eating up resources and it not refreshing the folder/file icons always. Due to this, I prefer the command line tools. I will say that my work machine isn't less then optimal for a developer machine in the Microsoft world. – Reiser

Answer 4

AnkhSVN is free under the Apache 2.0 license and integrates with VS. I am unsure about the Express edition (I us Professional), but give it a try.
