Why A Tortoise?

[edit]

Why a tortoise? The FAQ on the site... it says nothing --212.112.179.180 (talk) 08:25, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TortoiseSVN is based on TortoiseCVS. The name is a pun on the word shell. The tortoise in the logo is called Charlie Vernon Smythe (CVS). The project was started by Francis Irving when he was employed by Creature Labs to provide a better interface to CVS for his colleagues.

Unencyclopedic tag

Relevance of this software? Michaelbusch 21:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is the most major piece of software used to integrate Subversion into Windows. Ansell 00:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Apparently they reached 4.5 million downloads a few months ago, and got a SourceFourge 2007 Community Award. Is this relevant enough for you? Holger Friedrich, 27 July 2007

SVK

[edit]

Does TortoiseSVN work with SVK ? --68.0.120.35 22:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

VisualSVN integration

[edit]

I changed the wording here, because it wasn't clear that "all VisualSVN functionality uses TSVN" is accurate. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tortoise??? Article

[edit]

Looking at the TortoiseCVS, TortoiseSVN, TortoiseHg, TortoiseGit, and TortoiseBzr(redirect) articles, much of the space is taken up with redirects to the others and none compare and contrast the SKUs or give a description of the common features that unify the family.

I've used TortoiseSVN a lot, and tried to use some of the others but never long enough to understand how they really differ or else I would write such an article myself. --Tletnes (talk) 15:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
