TortoiseSVN – Graphical User Interface for Windows to (Sub)version Control

Recently I have chance to play with SVN when I need to submit a my Blogtal Trackback Wordpress Plugin into Wordpress plugin's repository. Wordpress plugin repository uses SVN to control the files and their versions hosted in the server. It allows anyone to check out a copy of your plugin files onto their local machine, but, as a plugin author, only you have tho authority to check in.

Instead of typing commands to check in, check out, or whatever to the files to the repository, I found a good software for Windows so that I can execute all SVN commands simply by clicks or drag and drop.

Repartition hard disk on-the-fly in Windows Vista

To repartition the hard disk without reformating the hard disk (after FDISK in DOS), you will need to  invest in a third-party console tool such as PartitionMagic.
