I am trying to use tortoiseSVN to manage some files that I need to transfer between my computers at work and at home. Do I need to install TortoiseSVN on the USB key that I use to transfer the files? Or will TortoiseSVN work without me having to do so? If I need to install to the key, is that possible? The .msi installer I downloaded doesnt' allow me to specify the directory for installation.
A:
It is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve, but you can put a repository or working folder on the key without installing TortoiseSVN to the key.
Where is your repository located? Is it accessble from both work and home?

A:
TortoiseSVN is a shell extension, you can't run it from a USB key. You can run other SVN clients using just the binary - most notably the command line client.
You should install TortoiseSVN on both machines, then simply update your files by first checking out and doing an svn up on each machine when you have commited changes.
Do you have access to the SVN server from both machines?
