SVN client

Note: the SVN client version must match the server version for better performances and to avoid errors.

Windows

Tortoise SVN is the best client available, see http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

!! During installation, don't forget to install the svn command line tools !!

Linux

Command line client

apt-get install subversion subversion-tools

Then you can use the svn command:

• svn co --username=yourUserName --password=yourpassword http://path-to-your-svn
• svn add file
• svn commit -m "my revision comment"
