Could anyone explain the color codes when doing a diff in SVN, i.e. some lines are marked as red, yellow, blue, etc.
Just hold down the Shift key while you right click on the file. Then select TortoiseSVN → Diff with URL. In the following dialog, specify the URL in the repository with which you want to compare your local file to.
TortoiseSVN comes with everything you need to access a repository. Only if you want to set up a server then you will need the Subversion package.
Configuration for Tortoise SVNGo into Explorer and right-click anywhere on a file or folder. On the shortcut menu, choose TortoiseSVN and choose Settings and check the “Use '_svn' instead of '. svn'” check box on the General tab as shown in Figure 1.
Check the TortoiseSVN Manual: TortoiseMerge | Colour Settings Page.
This is the default color scheme (see it in TortoiseMerge | File | Settings | Colors):
It also makes sense to know the line status icons meaning.
