Using LabView with SVN

[knicewar]

I know there was a discussion in the past about SVN and LabView, but I wanted some fresh info.  We're using TortoiseSVN 1.5.0 and our (Linux) server is also 1.5.0.  I looked for an SCC plugin and found tortoisesvnscc, which was pretty old (0.1.3) but I tried it anyway.  After the horrifying installation procedure (you have to manually run regsvr32), it shows up in LabView as an SCC choice and lets me configure it.  It requires a checkout (which I don't understand because I already have a checkout) which succeeds, but then after that it acts like the checkout had an error and won't let me continue with SCC enabled.  I've seen others who say they are using tortoisesvnscc with LabView.  What am I doing wrong? 

... And I don't want this to devolve into another debate about whether SVN is or is not a real SCM tool ... 😉

Thanks,
Keith.

LabVIEW version 8.x and above supports direct interfacing to all SCC provider which support the Microsoft Source Control Interface. This has been tested and verified with about 6 different tools which are liable to pay costs.

Tortoise SVN does not support this interface as is. So technically, SVN should not show up in LabVIEW at all. So reading your post, i asume that you work with LV 7.x and earlier....
If you are using LV 8.x, then you might be interested in a client for SVN which provides the interfacing for MSCI. This plugin is created by PushOk and runs fine with LV. But please keep in mind that it is not supported by NI by any means....

hope this helps,
