Is VisualSVN Server repository compatible with svn repository I would create on linux ?

Question

I'd like to use http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

which installs simply on windows. But I'd like to know if I could copy it if needed on a linux server with apache subversion server installed. How can I be sure that the versions of format are the same ?

Answer 1

You can!

SVN is de-facto standard protocol. VisualSVN is 100% SVN-compatible, so it also works with Linux clients

I don't know exactly how to dump a VisualSVN repo, but once you do so you can do svnadmin load from Linux. See if you have a "dump" option in your GUI, or... well... RTFM :)

As djechelon says, VisualSVN just uses the standard SVN protocol; you can dump your repos via the Windows command prompt - the following will dump your whole repo and all revisions:

svnadmin dump your/repos/path > /your/repo/here.dump

Hi, I want to know if I can use just the management console of VisualSVN Server and then will connect with a SVN Server Linux.

Please help me, I need to know this for a important process of my job Thanks Very much!
