AnkhSVN provides source control with Subversion for Visual Studio. It allows you to perform common version control operations directly within the Visual Studio environment. 

Utility: 

• View the source control status of all files and folders in your project or solution 
• Import new solutions directly from the Solution Explorer into your Subversion repository 
• Using the Working Copy Explorer: 

• Easily work with files that are not part of your project or solution 
• Use the same commands as in the Solution Explorer 

• Using the Repository Explorer, you can: 

• Easily browse the contents of the repository 
• Check out or export a folder 

• Open a file in Visual Studio, view it in a browser, or copy it 

• View the staus of your file changes in real time via Pending Changes 
• Merge changesets and track merges based on the functionality provided by Subversion 1.5 
• Plug in diff and merge tools of your choice 
• The AnkhSVN 2.0 Source Control Provider for Visual Studio 2008 and later is a nearly complete rewrite of the old AnkhSVN Add-In. This rewrite was necessary to take advantage of the new Source Code Control (SCC) Virtual Application Programming Interface (VAPI) introduced in Visual Studio 2005. This new SCC VAPI replaces the Microsoft Source Code Control Interface (MSSCCI) API of older Visual Studio releases and makes it possible to replace all SCC handling within Visual Studio. Where the old SCC API required its implementation to always follow the CheckOut-CheckIn principle, the new SCC VAPI just passes individual requests to the SCC API. This allows implementations to fully replace the usual workflow with the Update-Merge workflow Subversion usually provides. 

• Just like the old SCC API, the new SCC API makes the projects aware that there is a SCC provider, to which they should communicate which files are part of a projects source and which are just intermediate or output files. (AnkhSVN 1.X and other non SCC Add-Ins have to guess this for themselves). This makes AnkhSVN 2.0 (or higher) compatible with virtually every SCC capable project in Visual Studio. 
• AnkhSVN derives its name from the Egyptian symbol ankh, which represents the key of life.
