svn problem in command line

Question

I have installed TortoiseSVN in the C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN folder. In the Environment Variable window, I have added in the variable name Path the variable value C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin. Still when I open the command line window and type

svn checkout http://xxxx/xxxx --username xxxx

I get the usual:

svn is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Does anyone know hoe to solve this issue?

Answer 1

TortoiseSVN doesn't come with a svn executable, at least not my version.

I think it makes use of the client libraries in DLL form.

Get the original SVN binaries e.g. from CollabNet. The "Command-line client" download should be what you need.

Edit: TortoiseSVN has command line options, too, but they differ massively from svn's ones. See Appendix D. Automating TortoiseSVN
