Axosoft RocketSVN VS. VisualSVN

Question

I've been a long time user of Visual SVN (pretty much since the beginning), but I often have problems with little things like renaming files in a solution and then not committing properly (or whatever) and causing the commit to break.

Now I've just seen that Axosoft is giving RocketSVN away FREE, and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this?

Is it worth the switch? Is it good subversion software? Does it have any deal breaking bugs?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Since everyone is saying that RocketSVN is built on AnkhSVN, can I ask. What are the differences between AnkhSVN and VisualSVN? Is one better than the other?

Answer 1

Just to follow up, I've been using RocketSVN for a couple of months now, and I really like it. Here's what I see

VisualSVN

• traffic light icons
• integrates with Visual Studio
• works great with my SVN software (VisualSVN Server)

RocketSVN

• traffic light icons
• integrates with Visual Studio
• works great with my SVN software (VisualSVN Server)
• does NOT require TortoiseSVN
• can add commit comments without committing the source (not sure if this was available in VS SVN)

RocketSVN wins IMO

Adding to this answer: I was just at the Axosoft website, and it appears that RocketSVN and RocketSVN Server are now FREE for unlimited users. So price is no longer a deterrent.

Answer 2

Have you tried AnkhSVN? RocketSVN is a version of AnkhSVN with a few changes applied on top, so it's likely AnkhSVN will fit your needs.
