Visual SVN Server

Posted by Jason Meridth on November 13, 2008

Due to the new policies by Assembla.com (not allowing free private source repositories), I’ve had to finally grab another server and stand-up Visual SVN Server.  It’s free, VERY easy to manage and worked like a charm once installed.  Kudos to the Visual SVN team.

Yes, this is against my better nature as a fan of Linux and “free” software, but I had heard good things about Visual SVN Server and wanted to see for myself.

    You could have your code hosted at devjavu (http://www.devjavu.com/). They offer simple Trac+SVN, and they felt simpler compared to the plethora of tools that assembla offers.

    Awesome. Except, they just made the same announcement that Assembla did about closing free private repositories: http://blog.devjavu.com/2008/11/02/closing-free-project-registration/

    That is what I was looking for. Thanks though.

    Totally agree with you here. VisualSVN is the best way to get an SVN server going, and I too have a bit of a bias towards Linux and “free” software.
