SVN

[Cobalt]

Just started using tortoise SVN with electro's help. DOes it use FTP to login to the repository, or is the folder like a r-w to the world thing? Also, noticed there is a plugin for notepad++ for it, but cant get it to work. Are there any other text editors that let you use svn? I thought someone said that visual c can comply with it, but not sure?

You tend to access SVN repositories using SVN clients

Try a shell-integrated client like TortoiseSVN

SVN simply means that you have a local copy of the master repo. This is kept up to date / changes are merged by a svn client.

You don't need anything else. The files in your working copy are modified using normal tools, the only difference is that the files themselves are under version control.

No special text editors etc needed.

The only thing that can get fiddly is if you add/remove files to/from the project on a regular basis; in that case (assuming a coding project) and IDE that integrates an SVN client can be convenient.

666mb.!!!! Why is big

It contains both mingw for 32 and 64 bit compilation and a few other helpfull tools besides svn, like mercurial and git.
So its pretty complete in regards to subversion clients atleast its not 10 gig like my first version.
