Overview

VisualSVN delivers enterprise-grade version control solutions based on Apache Subversion for Windows environments. It consists of two core offerings: VisualSVN for Visual Studio, a professional Subversion integration plugin that embeds SVN version control directly into the Visual Studio IDE, and VisualSVN Server, a ready-to-install Subversion repository server optimized for Windows systems with easy configuration, secure authentication, and full Subversion standard support. VisualSVN products aim to help development teams manage source code history, simplify collaboration, and maintain reliable, versioned storage.
