Tortoise SVN & Ankh/Visual SVN?

I recently acquired a new position and found that they had no Version Control.

I'll be spending most of my time in Visual Studio, and in the past I've used (pre-installed by previous companies) AnkhSVN and Visual SVN, and they all used Visual SVN as their SVN.

I would like to continue using either AnkhSVN or VisualSVN plugins for Visual Studio. I'm trying to do this on the cheap, and I've had a little TortoiseSVN experience so I thought about going that way.

Question: If I install TortoiseSVN to a network drive, can I use AnkhSVN and/or VisualSVN Visual Studio plugins with it? What other alternatives do you suggest if not?

I'm very comfortable using any number of SVN repositories, but I have heretofore never had to actually set one up for use with Visual Studio.

Thanks!

This is a two part question.

Can I create SVN repository in network drive?

Yes. Once you install TortoiseSVN on your local computer, creating SVN repository is just a matter of right-click and "Create Repository here"

Can I use AnkhSVN and/or VisualSVN Visual Studio plugins with it?

Yes. AnkhSVN or any other plugin is independent of where the repository is located. You need to configure the path.

Creating SVN repository is very easy.
You can do that on the network drive.

If you explain for what you need it , it would be easier to recommend a good solution for you

There are several good free sites that let you place your code like:

  1. Codeplex

  2. Assembla

    and there are more, some, like assembla also support Git which is good to know
