What is TortoiseSVN?

TortoiseSVN is a popular Apache Subversion client for Windows, implemented as a Microsoft Windows shell extension. As it isn't integrated into a specific IDE it can be used with a range of development tools; for example, it can be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio using a third-party plugin such as VisualSVN. The key benefits of using TortoiseSVN include:

1. Icon overlays, which allow you to see the status of every versioned file and folder at a glance.
2. Easy access to all Subversion commands though a TortoiseSVN sub-menu that's automatically added to the Windows context menu.
3. Windows integration, which allows you to work with tools you're already familiar with.
4. Context-aware sub-menu -- available commands are filtered based on the selected file or folder. You will not see any commands you cannot use within the current context.
5. Powerful commit dialog -- with integrated spellchecker, auto completion capabilities, and the ability to double-click on a modified file to open the diff program.

TortoiseSVN also comes with some useful tools for version control:

• TortoiseMerge -- a diff / merge tool that displays the changes made to particular files.
• TortoiseBlame -- displays who is responsible for a particular change, and the log message for the corresponding commit.
• TortoiseIDiff -- displays the changes made to image files, as it's not possible to use a standard file diff tool for images. TortoiseIDiff can display two images side-by-side, and display images blended over one another.
