Subversion web based browser

What web based interface for browsing Subversion repositories do you like the most? We have tried Viewvc, but the installation seemed too complex for us.

This is no poll. I'd really love to allow people at the office to be able to access the data at the repositories with their web browsers and see who modified each file and when.

Subversion provides web browsing, but is very poor, and Viewvc looks nice but is too hard to install.

I am not talking about Subversion clients, but just a web showing the commit history, like at bitbucket. Also, a direct link for a ZIP file for each revision would be awesome.

From stackoverflow
  • This question seems to have already been asked.

    hop : while this question is kinda useless, it is not a duplicate, since the other one asks for _write_ access via a web interface
    Saiyine : Excuse me, but what makes readers think I'm searching for a client?
    gbarry : You want to browse a repository. That's a client, even if you don't want all the functionality. Unless you want an API?
  • If you are looking for simplicity, you can browse repository by just pointing your browser to repository url.

  • I love Fisheye from Atlassian (née Cenqua). It might have too many functions for you taste (searching, auditing and code review support are all part of the package these days), but it has the best interface for browsing SVN (or any VC-system, actually) I have yet encountered. On the downside, it's commercial (if you're commercial, that is. They provide free instances for OSS-projects) and hardly inexpensive.

    You can have a look at their demo-instance at http://fisheye3.cenqua.com,

  • We use Svn Manager for Windows It's quite decent, has many features and runs on IIS. I can say it's a complete solution to manage and browse subversion repositories through a web browser.
