Tortoise SVN
Many Assembla users like to use a desktop client with SVN to make it easy to check files in and out of Subversion. There are many SVN clients available. The most popular tool in our user population is Tortoise SVN. It is a very simple tool that adds options for working with Subversion to your folder menu options. Tortoise SVN is mostly used by developers, but because it is very simple it can also be used by other members of your team, like graphic designers, marketing professionals, and business analysts.
