How to install SVN Server

Version control is the art of managing changes to information. It has long been a critical tool for programmers, who typically spend their time making small changes to software and then undoing or checking some of those changes the next day. Imagine a team of such developers working concurrently - and perhaps even simultaneously on the very same files! - and you can see why a good system is needed to manage the potential chaos.

VisualSVN is a professional grade Subversion integration plug-in for Visual Studio.
Key benefits of VisualSVN are:
Unbeatable reliability: Visual Studio will never crash or hang because of VisualSVN.
Seamless integration: VisualSVN automatically handles added or renamed files and reflects these operations to Subversion.
Real-time status: VisualSVN carefully tracks and displays all the current changes made to your working copy.
Short learning curve: VisualSVN utilizes TortoiseSVN dialogs and provides a smart wizard to put your sources under Subversion.

TortoiseSVN is a free open-source Windows client for the Apache™ Subversion® version control system. That is, TortoiseSVN manages files and directories over time. Files are stored in a central repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories. This allows you to recover older versions of your files and examine the history of how and when your data changed, and who changed it. This is why many people think of Subversion and version control systems in general as a sort of “time machine”. Some version control systems are also software configuration management (SCM) systems. These systems are specifically tailored to manage trees of source code, and have many features that are specific to software development - such as natively understanding programming languages, or supplying tools for building software. Subversion, however, is not one of these systems; it is a general system that can be used to manage any collection of files, including source code.
