I always have to re-checkout my repository because it's so easy to mess it up! This software blows.

I have to do this. :(

It's a cruel world. :)

Seriously, TortoiseSVN is good and very useful option, even for beginners and for experience users. I have install it in LAN of several teams with VisualSVN Server, and this stack is simply works - for engineering tasks and document flows.

Where is a two issues, if you want to go deeper

Taking of URL for server's repo and creation of working copy is not to easy for understanding for common user
Tortoise is integrating to file Explorer, so you can't use it in portable mode.

But if you has installed an app and created the usual checkouts for your users - further work is nice.

Install from the command line

winget install -e --id TortoiseSVN.TortoiseSVN

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is TortoiseSVN?

TortoiseSVN is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows. Since its not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like. TortoiseSVN is free to use. You dont need to get a loan or pay a full years salary to use it.

It also offers the "Project Monitor" for monitoring repositories for updates (similar to Commit Monitor or SVN Notifier)
