This is the *subversion* mailing list, not the tortoisesvn mailing list, you should really ask over there. However, as a professional multi-platform systems admin and decades long integrator of source control, Microsoft operating systems, UNIX, and Linux since it came out, I I can tell you that it's very powerful and very effective. The recent updates to Subversion 1.7.x as its core have vastly improved its NTFS performance for Windows systems, and been all around good. The big booby trap I notice with all Windows/Subversion use is the understandable desire to use "native" end-of-line characters to swap text files gracefully between Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Don't do that: it can bite you *VERY* hard if you access the same network filesystem, such as a CIFS share, from each of those operating systems or with CygWin on Windows. > > > Kindly also let know from which version onwards it is compatible. > > > > Product > > MS office 2000 > > MS office 2010 > > IE8 > > Tortoise > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > It's kind of a strange question, because they're orthogonal. Subversion works by saving files and a log of their changes. MS Office stores *binary* files, and increasingly complex XML based and incompatible artifices of proprietary incompatibility. So you can save them, and access them, but preserving a list of changes in the document contents that would be effectively reported as "differences" by Subversion is pretty impossible. Do you understand how Microsoft's workd and Excel documents work, at all? Then you know that the chance of being able to publish an organized and legible set of differences between an older and newer modified document is about the same chance as sneezing up your tongue. It could happen, if you worked at it really hard, but it's not likely. IE of various flavors works just fine to browse Subversion repositories using HTTPS or HTTP access. It works even better with an intervening web interface, such as 'viewvc'. For maintaining website content, the source control system has little to do with making the content compatible with IE of any flavor. > Appreciate your support. > > > > Thanks and Regards, > > > > Joseph Antoine Praveen Janvier | Workplace project | ALSTOM Compatibility > Cell | Office Phone +44 20 709 53688 > > > > > > ------------------------------ > CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may > be privileged.
