Difference between svn tortoise and CollabNetSubversion

Question

What is the difference between svn turtle and CollabNetSubversion .....

Answer 1

One of them is a graphical client (or rather, a shell extension for Windows), and the other is a command line client ¹ . Usage is very different from convenience functions, however, the basic function installed for working with Subversion repositories is exactly the same as for both libraries.

As for the Subversion server, this is actually different software, although it is sometimes distributed along with the command line client.

1 Side notes: I have long stopped using the branded version of CollabNet because it is located outside the registration wall. I found Slik SVN as a good alternative. This is exactly the same command line client that you get from CollabNet, without the hassle of downloading it.

Answer 2

One (Tortoise) is a graphical interface, and the other is a command line tool. However, both of them are built using the same SVN libraries and can be used together to access the same repositories. Some things, like using in a script, are easier with the command line (and vice versa, of course) - I believe that it is advisable to install both.

Answer 3

Subversion , which is now supported by Apache, is a version control system.

Svn is an abbreviation for Subversion.

Tortoise SVN is a Subversion client implemented as an extension to the Windows shell.

You need to install Subversion if you want a version control system.
