It finally worked and I could access the repository, but it took me so much time that it made me really angry. Ssh = E:/PuTTY/plink.exe -l REPOSITORY_LOGIN -pw REPOSITORY_PASSWORD So after another Googling I've found this post, opened configuration file "C:\Users\MY_LOGIN\Application Data\Subversion\config" and inserted this line into it: I wanted to try some "easy" solution so I installed another windowed client - Qsvn, as well as console SVN client - SilkSVN, but it seemed to recognize and run this SSH tunnel and finally freeze in same situation. This time when checking out, an empty console appeared and freezed so the RapidSVN didn't go any further. It seemed to work so I was a step further, but still I couldn't access the SVN repository. This variable is named "SVN_SSH" and its value must be like "E:\\PuTTY\\plink.exe" - without quotes, but with these double backslashes! Here I was sure it had to come from the Linux/Unix world, noone other would come up with something like this :P

Set up p4merge download#

I needed to download PuTTY package and set special environmental variable to point to the plink.exe program that, according to Google, work as SSH tunnel. I knew it was probably because the repository I wanted to checkout have an URL starting with svn+ssh:// so the SVN client probably needs to create an SSH tunnel.Īfter some searching in Google I found a solution.

I though: Fuuuu! After issues with new Windows version here come Linux-like issues with some command-line or config driven, small and independent programs that never smoothly work together. But then another obstacle appeared: opening repository in RapidSVN failed with error message: rapidsvn Error: Error while updating filelist (Can't create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified. Such application seems even nicer for me than shell extension. So then I installed RapidSVN - a normal Windows SVN client. Google knows this problems, but not the solution. I also ensured shell extensions are successfully installed by using ShellExView.

Set up p4merge full#

I tried to disable read-only attribute for TortoiseSVN directory, give full permission to this directory for all users, maually run TSVNCache.exe (because it doesn't start automatically) and nothing helped.

Set up p4merge install#

I tried to install both 64-bit and 32-bit versions, two times, with restarting my computer. Setup succeeds, but then no new items appear in context menus for directories. Unfortunately it doesn't work in my 64-bit Windows 7. The obvious solution is to install and use TortoiseSVN - great shell extension for Windows. Although I'm now going to use Mercurial (with TortoiseHG client) for my home projects, as this whole distributed revision control systems looks quite promising, I wanted to checkout some SVN repository and it turned out to be much bigger problem than I expected. Today I had an unpleasant adventure with SVN.

Set up p4merge free#

Now you have this great, free tool in your system. Then install it, but from the installation components leave only "Visual Merge Tool (P4Merge)".

To grab it, go to Perforce Downloads and download appropriate (32-bit or 64-bit) version of the P4V: Visual Client. It turns out that this tool is also free! It's actually the best tool of this kind I've ever seen on Windows, better than free TortoiseMerge, DiffMerge or KDiff3. It has its pros and cons, but the included diff/merge tool is definitely its good point. Perforce (or P4 for short) is a commercial version control system used in many companies instead of free CVS, SVN, Mercurial or Git. I keep it for reference, but it probably doesn't reflect my current knowledge and beliefs. Warning! Some information on this page is older than 5 years now.
