But IF You want to test client-server way of working, be sure to
select command line tools during TortoiseSvn install. Then You can
create a bat file with
svnserve -d -r c:\repos
and when that is started, connect to server with URL
svn://localhost/
Keep in mind that anyone can access the repository if they know your
host/ip and can reach to it from their computer (I.e. whole internet
if there is no firewall/NAT in between), so some access or firewall
configuration might be needed.
It is pretty easy to install svnserve as windows service also, so
basically You just need TortoiseSVN to have a full set of svn
server/client software.
