Hi,

Great tutorial, but it seems a bit outdated.
The versions I downloaded and installed today seem to have a somewhat different interface, specifically the Ankh tool.

Other than that, extremely informative.
Now I can continue learning about source control with the more detailed manuals and applying that to my VS.

Thank you for spending the time and effort to write this down.

Hello Sergi,

I’m happy that you found my article useful.
I’m sorry about the problems you had with AnkhSVN and I’m not surprised at all.
My team experienced some problems as well in the last months.
Even the new version of Ankh still lacks some functionalities and behaves in an odd manner sometimes.
I stopped using it temporarily as well, but I keep supporting the AnksSVN team efforts while I’m waiting for their product to become mature enough to be used in a professional environment.

Great article, it should help many to begin with these great tools!

Anyway, I have to say that I tried to use AnkhSVN, but at last we decided to drop it from our lives and survive just with TortoiseSVN… the main problem we had with Ankh is that when 2 users modify the .proj or .sln files, and we have a conflict, Ankh modifies the files themselves and introduces the conflict information with the “>>>>>mine” and “<<<<

This makes VS not to open the project again… unless you edit manually the conflicts… let’s say with Notepad…. … and that’s not the best way.. I believe…

Anyway, VS + Tortoise is not a bad combination, as long as you have both installed if you follow your article.

Cheers!
