I love TortoiseSVN.

Being a person with absolutely ZERO programming experience (read: I'm a sound engineer), I managed to figure out most of the functions TortoiseSVN offers in a few minutes, and now I'm just about ready to commit my very first ZDoom source modification. =P

I never said that all command line programs are stone age. But doing complex tasks that benefit from decent visualization with them sure is. Source control systems certainly fit that criteria.

I was referring to Graf's comment that all command-line programs are "stone-age".

TortoiseSVN is one of the easiest to use programs I have ever seen. It's all neatly packaged in the context menu you open with a right mouse click so you always get exactly the options you can use in a certain place.

I think it says enough that in the last 2 months I had to teach 5 persons how to use it and none of them needed more than a few minutes to understand the basics. And the help coming with it is quite thorough.

I have been using TortoiseSVN to for 8 months to access ZDoom and for 3 months professionally to organize my company's projects. Initially many of my co-workers questioned the sensibility of that move but now almost everyone is using it.

Sure, they are pretty stone-age in Windows, but Windows has a crap terminal. Command-line stuff works great in Linux. It's very natural. But I see how you could be scared by a terminal when you have only used Windows'.

I couldn't figure out TortoiseSVN when I used Windows. Probably because all the SVN tutorials assumed you were using svn.exe.

Try TortoiseSVN. It's what I use for ZDoom and at work. It doesn't get much better. I also tried RapidSVN but I really didn't like that one.

@Bio: Command line tools are so stone age so don't even dare to recommend another one for a complex task again! :P

svn.exe works great for me.

Are there any good SVN browsers around?
