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. Gert
