I'm just getting into Subversion for personal projects and am interested in knowing what tools you use that integrate with Subversion on the Windows platform. Things like visualisation, backup, IDE integration, issue tracking integration etc.

Anything that extends the basic functionality of Subversion really to make it more powerful.


Great stuff, I'm sure there must be plenty more that people use. Please keep contributing!

A quick summary of the tools you have been suggesting and some of my own,

Subversion Clients

  • Tortoise is the best subversion client in my opinion. The fact that it integrates with Windows Explorer make it a very intuitive tool, and it has the best out of box user experience that I've seen in a subversion client. The built in diff and history tools don't often have me reaching for other clients.
  • RapidSVN is pretty good as well if you are looking for something cross platform.
  • SVN-Monitor

Subversion Servers

  • VisualSVN Server - makes it a snap to set up a subversion server on windows, and it has simple MMC based UI for administration.

IDE Integration

  • Ankhsvn is a pretty nice for Visual Studio
  • Subclipse is an integration for the Eclipse IDE
  • VisualSVN is another popular integration for Visual Studio

Bug Tracking Systems

I highly suggest Visual SVN. It's pretty cheap and basically extends the functionality of Tortoise into Visual Studio. They both work well together.

Other stuff already's been said, but I may add that Beyond Compare makes a great diff/merge tool. It's not free though.
