Enter the name of your repository, and check the option if you want the default SVN structure created. To do this, right click the Repositories node and choose Create New Repository from the context menu. Next, I fired up VisualSVN Server Management console and created a repository ready for the migration. As this is the free version of VisualSVN, I have to use Basic (meaning you'll be prompted to enter credentials), if you want Integrated (where your Windows credentials are used automatically) you need to purchase the Enterprise license. When you install, you'll be asked if you want to use HTTP or HTTPS - HTTPS will be more secure, but you'll need to verify (or replace) the default certificate or the migration tool will fail.Īs our VSS user accounts mirror Windows users, I choose to enable the Windows authentication option. And surprisingly enough, it was - a few simple clicks and the server was installed.

For the server, I choose to go with VisualSVN Server as it promised to be easy enough to install - and it is free (or at least the standard version is). I don't have a lot of experience with SVN - I've used TortoiseSVN and AnkhSVN for client side. You'll still need to install the client locally however.Īs SVN is open source, there are multiple clients and servers out there - some free, some not so free.

For this migration test, I'll install everything locally, but for real use you'll want to install the server software and repositories on a server. Or multiple clients depending on what integration options you need. Installing SVNĪs SVN is a client/server system, you will need to install both the SVN server and a client to connect to it. I also want to be able to import the VSS databases containing our current code, and the one with the legacy VB6 components we used to offer. This article describes our experiences with a test migration.Īs I tend to prefer the client/server model I decided to trial Subversion (SVN) over other systems such as Git or Mercury.

For years now, we've used Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) for our source code control, but given that Microsoft dropped support for it some time ago in favour of Team Foundation Server, we've decided to switch VSS with an open source system.
