You could give web access for repository browsing. With regards to commits I still dont get why u cant allow clients.

So now these are the challenges which > we are trying to find: With regards to svn, have been using for about 4-5 months and havent encountered too many problems with it: 1. Migration from one OS to other isnt too much of a problem if u use proper file system for ur repository. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch05s03.html#svn-ch-5-sect-3.5 2. Repository browsing web interfaces are easily available and are easy to deploy with ur repo: http://www.viewvc.org/ - Seems like the most popular one. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/apds05.html - Other tools If u use eclipse for java development, then another point in favor of svn is the eclipse plugin for svn is quite mature and featureful. See http://subclipse.tigris.org/ Also the following is a view on SVN migration from cvs, security n all. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/svn.html<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/svn.html> - What are the complexity in migrating cvsnt repository on windows > server 2003 to cvs (linux). > - What are the complexity in migrating CVSNT repository on WINDOWS 2003 > server to svn wndows/linux. > - Which Revision control system would be the best in this condition if > we want to migrate, CVS (linux/windows), SVN, Bazaar (BZR) or any other. - Can cvsnt be extended by any method, existing or any idea which can be > worked on (like creating an interface to do so if possible). > - Can cvs be extended to such, on Linux? any workarounds > - Does svn or bzr have such things. extend what? etc. > > Goal to achieve: > - Web Interface which can let user authenticate, and then browse the cvs > tree, and user can download the modules. > - Committing modules (edited or new) to cvs repo. > - uploading multiple files (optionally by taking input the directory > path in browser file upload text input box, which would upload all the > files in directory. > > Please show us some light.
