I believe that someone who has not used SVN but need it in order to
get the sources should really be adviced to install the command line
SVN, because TSVN is really very confusing and invades the Windows
Explorer no end.
I did both so now I have my Explorer messed up, but I have not once
gotten anything to work with TSVN. OTOH installing command line SVN
was easy and after that making the one line command to retrieve the
sources was real simple too. Recommended!
But please put a few links on the wiki page showing where to get the
SVN client! There seems to be a whole lot of such floating around and
it is very confusing for a SVNebie....
This is obviously a matter of personal preference, as my experience is
exactly the opposite. TSVN was my first experience of any version
control system, it installed easily, integrated into - but did not "mess
up" - explorer, and works painlessly. (I think I had a little bit of
initial confusion setting my proxy server). Whereas, as Bo mentioned,
even trying to work out where to get the windows command-line client is
a major hurdle.
So the advice to new users (on window$) should be - "make you own
choice, depending on whether you generally prefer command line or gui."
cheers,
