Easiest Subversion installer for Windows 7?

I want to try out Subversion on Windows 7. The repository will be on the same PC I'll be accessing it on (i.e., server and client on same computer) I read a blog entry that suggested that VisualSVNServer was the easiest way to install SVN.

Any better suggestions or comments on whether VSVNS is indeed the easiest to install?

Personally, I'd go for Tortoise if it's only a local repository.

I thought Tortoise was just a GUI client for SVN. Wouldn't you still need to install the SVN server?

Tortoise can host a local repository just fine (The "Create Repository Here" in the right-click menu is a good starting point ;). If it's a one-man project and you're hosting the repo on your development machine, then it's easily sufficient for what you need.

Tortoise is juts the GUI for SVN. You would still need a server. VisualSVN does the job.@Anon Never thought of that. Nice. But, you would not be able to view with your browser.

Tortoise's repository browser is sufficient for most things you'd want to do for a one-man project. If it gets too big then yes, you'd want to move to a dedicated server software - but if it's just you or you're just trying out SVN, then Tortoise is a good place to start.

To install the Subversion server, get it from here.

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

I use VisualSVN Server for the server and TortoiseSVN as a shell client. The combo works like a charm and allows me both local and remote access. The VsualSVN server setup is incredibly easy; the only caveat is that every once in a while when upgrading to newer version, I lose the custom security on my repos and have to set it again.
