Subversion: Tortoise+AnkhSVN

Question

Open Ankh seems to be using Subversion 1.6.2 and Tortoise uses Subversion 1.6.0.

After creating a repository with Tortoise I could not get ankh to see it.

After downloading subversion and doing svn admin -create --pre-1.6-compatible z:\......\etc.. now ankh can see it. This is my first time using version control, and maybe I don't need tortoise, but the windows explorer integration sounds nice.

I'm using file:/// not an svnserve or apache.

am I going to be able to use tortoise along side ankh or will I continue to have problems or possibly corrupt the repository?

Answer 1

The latest version of TortoiseSVN was built against SVN 1.6.2, get it here. That may fix your problem.

The original poster corrected his post, and the above line no longer applies.

You should be able to use both side by side with no problems. I was for a while, and did not encounter any issues

Answer 2

As long as both tools are on the same major/minor version of Subversion (i.e. 1.6.any) then they should be able to work together.

Are you talking about AnkhSVN? If so, you might need to get a daily build, as their page mentions using the latest daily for Subversion 1.6 support. http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/

If you update one client but not another and there is a minor version difference (i.e. 1.6 vs. 1.5), then the newer client will update the working copy and you won't be able to work with it in the older client.

Answer 3

I was also facing problems with Ankh, but after installing subversion 1.6.2 it works!! So probably you need to update your subversion to 1.6.2

Answer 4

I had similar problems but resolved them by installing latest (2.1 daily build) of AnkhSVN.
