I would like to take the time to thank the guys/gals over at VisualSVN for making a couple of really nice products. The one that hits today is SVN repo hosting. Some users use file:/// some use svn:/// others use apache or some form of http:/// to access the repos. But a lot of us just don't have the time to set up a secure, cert based https:/// access point to SVN repos. This is where http://www.visualsvn.com/server/ comes in.

  1. Simply download and install VisualSVN Server and configure the repo root folder.
  2. Right click and create a new repo
  3. Create a user and give that new user access to the repo (make sure to turn everybody else to no access)
  4. To check your new secure set up. Open a browser and enter something like this in the URL box https://<servername>:8443/svn/<reponame>/
