Anyone use both Tortoise Git and Subversion on the same machine?

Question

Anyone install both? Using each for separate projects obviously. Shouldn't be a problem, I'm guessing, but hoping to fish out any gotchas. Furthermore, anyone use Tortoise Git, Subversion and Mercurial on the same machine?

Edit: Forgot to mention, this is for Windows 7.

Answer 1

TortoiseSVN and TortoiseHg on the same machine doesn't seem to be a problem. I don't know about TortoiseGit.

Answer 2

It should not be a problem as long as you don’t try to use them on the same files.

Answer 3

TortoiseHg and TortoiseSVN cooperate with each other when displaying the overlay icons: they both use a library called TortoiseOverlays, which is provided by the TortoiseSVN team. So it is fine to install both at the same time.

I don't know if TortoiseGit also uses the TortoiseOverlays library, but I would expect so.

Answer 4

I've got Tortoise[SVN|Git|HG] installed on my Win7 desktop, with no apparent conflicts. Apparently SVN and HG even use the same icon overlays - Git's are different.
