Project DescriptionSvnBridge allows you to use TortoiseSVN and other Subversion clients with Team Foundation Server. It converts the calls made by your Subversion client to the API supported by TFS.
SvnBridge works by running an executable on your local machine that acts as the bridge to TFS. You point SvnBridge at the TFS server, and point TortoiseSVN at the bridge running on your local machine. This allows you to use TortoiseSVN with any TFS server without needing to change the TFS server in any way (no need to convince your system administrator of anything!).
Current StatusSvnBridge has released its second version. The core source control features (checkout, update, commit, repository browser, show log) are all supported. Click
here to see the current status of individual commands.
Give SvnBridge a try and let us know how it works for you! Feedback, issues, or suggestions can be submitted in the
issue tracker.
InstructionsUsing SvnBridge is simple:
- Run SvnBridge.exe
- GUI: Enter the port you want the bridge to use (defaults to 8081) and proxy settings if they are needed
- CLI: Execute SvnBridge.exe <port number>
- Using TortoiseSVN, run a checkout using the following path: http://localhost:8081/<tfs.server.name>/<projectname> (e.g. http://localhost:8081/tfs03.codeplex.com/SvnBridge)
VisualSVNIf you haven't heard of VisualSVN, it integrates Visual Studio with TortoiseSVN. I've been using it with SvnBridge and highly recommend it. Open source developers can request a free license of VisualSVN here:

page for detailed instructions about how you can integrate SVN commit message and CodePlex Work Items.
