Rules for development

  • Use C# language and all your best knowledge.
  • Add useful comments to your code.

Contribution currently needed on

  • Testing service on different machines and different environments.

Current Issues

  • Problems with the SVNServiceSetup MSI installer on Vista due to incompatibilities with VS .NET 2003/2005.

    The issue with VS is described by some MS Developer:

    Workaround: use an administrator command prompt and install with "msiexec /i SVNServiceSetup- .msi"
