AnkhSVN 2.0 features a new window that focuses on providing information about the files you’re currently working on. In the future more features will be added to the various (now disabled) pages.
The screenshot below shows a file that is dirty on disk (Modified), and one that is changed but not saved to disk yet (Edited). Hitting commit will save both files and commit them as you’d expect.
The toolbar allows users to access most common operations, like update the entire solution, commit the checked files below, and perform other actions on the selected files, like diff, open in Visual Studio (double click), revert etc.
The combobox in the toolbar can be used to switch between branches and trunk.
In AnkhSVN 2.0 there’s a new way to open an existing solution from subversion. In previous versions you had to use the Repository Browser to find the path you want to check out, and then check out to a local file path, then open the .sln file.
In 2.0 this is streamlined and also looks a lot more like other Scc providers (Visual SourceSafe/Team Foundation System) and work with the generic documentation
The command is in the File -> Open menu as shown below.

I’m happy to announce that AnkhSVN has been listed on Visual Studio Gallery.
Microsoft wants this web site to become the one-stop shop for all Visual Studio extensions, from free VS PowerToys like tools to VSIP products. Any developer is able to post information and add links to their Visual Studio extensions.
We hope this brings AnkhSVN under the attention of a new group of users, and also hope to attract new developers. New developers already joined the team, one works for CollabNet (the company behind Subversion).
The AnkhSVN project is now hosted at openCollabNet openCollabNet is "the online community extension to CollabNet products and Subversion" and the move represents an official commitment by CollabNet (the original sponsor of Subversion) to the AnkhSVN project in the form of developer time and other resources.
The subversion repository has been moved to http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/svn/ankhsvn/trunk. Unlike before, anonymous access is no longer available, but you can checkout the repository using the username "guest" and a blank password. You can also browse the repository using the web interface.
Hopefully the co-operation with collabNet helps us meet new developers willing to help us out, building more community around Ankh.
To start using TFS with any Subversion client you will need SvnBridge
The zipfile contains an exe that is the zip, no installation required.
We will connect to the SvnBridge repository. This is the required information to setup SvnBridge:
At this point there is an http proxy running on the local machine, a test with the command-line client confirms this:
Now on to AnkhSVN. Here we chose Tools -> AnkhSVN -> Checkout
Now enter the target directory and the url (http://localhost:8081/<projectname>) in the checkout dialog
After opening this project AnkhSVN recognises the solution. Certain subversion functions (log for example) make the current version of SvnBridge crash however.
