RE: [TSVN] VS.NET version of TortoiseSVN doesn't recognize plain SVN repository?

Hi,
 
It's a known fact, which should be widely published on the website, that the VS.NET version doesn't recognize *working copies* created with any other SVN client.
 
But a working copy is not a repository; if you create a repository with another SVN version (using svnadmin, or TSVN built-in functionality) then you should be able to access that repository with any SVN client.
 
However, *working copies* are incompatible between the VS.NET TSVN client and other clients, b/c of the naming of the SVN 'working' directory. This has been a long, long, very long discussion and heated debate for which you can consult the mailing list archives of various SVN related lists...
 
 
What is the repository URL that you are trying to connect to? Is it a 'file:///' access? Did I understand correctly from you mail that you have a working-copy checked out with a 'regular' SVN client and another working copy checked out with the VS.NET TSVN client? But that somehow you cannot make the VS.NET client access the repos. created with the regular SVN client?
 
Or is there some confusion over what is a working copy, and what is a repository?
 
with regards,
 
--Tim

Onderwerp: [TSVN] VS.NET version of TortoiseSVN doesn't recognize plain SVN repository?

Hello all,

I have just installed Subversion on my WinXP computer. Everything is
local. The 'normal'
SVN seems to work fine. I could create a local repository, I could
check out, commit, status and so on.
Then I installed TortoiseSVN (the .NET version since I plan to use it
with VS.NET too). But it doesn't seem to recognize the 'Plain' SVN's
repository.
Is it really true that TortoiseSVN doesn't recognise it? What can I do
to use this repository from both versions concurrently (I don't hope
that they are incompatible, after all)?
Then I have created another repository and another working tree as
described in the TortoiseSVN manual, but even then, I don't get the
TortoiseSVN menue entries. Also, no _svn directory was created in the
working tree (shouldn't it?).

Any idea?

Regards

Johannes
