Comparison of Different SVN versions in Windows

On the Subversion official website http://subversion.apache.org (formerly: http://subversion.tigris.org) can query all the different SVN versions of the operating system, and the Apache site itself does not have SVN software download, however, a list of Download Links for all versions is provided (each SVN version has its own website ).

In the download list above, there are five Download versions for Windows:

Collabnet, sliksvn, visualsvn server, wandisco, win32svn

Among them, collabnet is the most powerful, because the founder of SVN is collabnet, but this version is the most functional, so the entire software package is also the most bloated, the installation package has more than 100 m, in addition, because it runs on the Java platform, it takes up a lot of memory resources.

Sliksvn and win32svn are basically the same. They both have only the svn kernel and have no interface, that is, they can only be operated by using command lines. The two are slightly different. For example, win32svn provides a library file with Apache, but sliksvn does not.

The visual SVN server is the dumbest SVN. The installation and configuration of visual interfaces are easy to operate.

Wandisco has never been used. It is unclear for the moment.

The most primitive SVN (sliksvn and win32svn are). There is no distinction between the client and the server. SVN itself is both a server and a client. It is equivalent to version control on a local computer. Collabnet and visualsvn
The server provides remote HTTPS access and update submission. For the original SVN, you can combine it with Apache to implement this function.

The special note here is win32svn, which is equivalent to the svn downloaded from the previous official website http://subversion.tigris.org/( now
Http://subversion.tigris.org/has been downloading svndue to unknown reasons). Because it is the core part of SVN, the installation file is relatively small, only 6.7 MB, which contains the operation manual.
