11.2 Accessing Subversion and CVS with TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN
Two of the best-known open source version-control systems are CVS and Subversion (see this chapter’s introduction). Both have simple command-line interfaces that let you pull updates from a repository, check changes back in, and generally manage your entire development workflow. While these command-line tools are powerful and flexible, they can be a bit annoying, as using them is somewhat time-consuming and requires switching over to a command-prompt session.
TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN bring all the tools you need to interact with CVS and Subversion right into Windows Explorer. You get clear indicators for the status of each file in your working copy directory, and all the commands for interacting with the source-control repository are readily available from a context menu. You’re able to quickly update, add, commit, and so on, directly from within Windows Explorer.
