AnkhSVN is a Subversion SourceControl Provider for Visual Studio. The software allows you to perform the most common version control operations directly from inside the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE. With AnkhSVN you no longer need to leave your IDE to perform tasks like viewing the status of your source code, updating your Subversion working copy and committing changes. You can even browse your repository and you can plug-in your favorite diff tool.

AnkhSVN is an active open source project with multiple committers from around the world (including CollabNet). The latest stable release is 2.0.5250, but you can access the latest features by testing the daily builds.

If you would like to support AnkhSVN you could join our development team, or help us answering questions on our user support forum/mailinglist.

*) AnkhSVN 2.0 is not an old style MSSCCI implementation.
AnkhSVN 2.0 implements the new style SCC VAPI Microsoft introduced in Visual Studio 2005, when they also introduced TFS. This removes the locking requirements of the old style MSSCCI api and several other limits.

About AnkhSVN

AnkhSVN started as Arild Fines' final year development project at the Engineering Faculty of the Oslo College in Norway. Karl Fogel (one of the Subversion “originals”) was Arild’s outside mentor. Arild continued the project while pursuing a master's degree in Informatics at the University of Oslo. Nowadays, AnkhSVN is a true open source project under an Apache-style license. Arild continue to leads the project with multiple committers developing the code.

In Februari 2008 the decision was made to rewrite the AnkhSVN engine to create a full Source Code Control Package (SCC) for Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and later. The new engine will be the heart of the new 2.0 release which will see its initial release in June 2008. This new version integrates deeply in Visual Studio to give better performance, stability and usability. The new Pending Changes window is the heart of the new integration. It gives an up-to-date overview of all your project actions and provides easy access to most subversion commands. Daily builds of the work in progress are available on our downloads page.

CollabNet hosts and supports the AnkhSVN project with the goal to accelerate growth of the AnkhSVN community and adoption by development organizations around the world. CollabNet also contributes code to the project.
