TortoiseGit side-by-side with TortoiseSVN?

2020-08-11 06:34发布

I've been using TortoiseSVN for several years now, but am thinking of slowly changing to git, as I really like its branching and merging. I'm currently using git via the command line but am considering installing TortoiseGit. Has anyone had experience of using the two Tortoises side-by-side? Any known issues with this? I would really like not to screw up my SVN installation, as I will be using it for my existing projects.

The risk is that some of the icon overlays may not appear, especially if you have OneDrive or DropBox or some other app installed that decorates file icons. These are governed by the max allowed entries in the Windows Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers. The max appears to be 15. See this article in Stack Overflow

However, TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit appear to share the same named overlays, so there does not appear to be a risk of some appearing, and others not.

I've been using it for a couple of months now. There are no issues that I've seen with them interacting and overlays work as expected.

I'm running the 64-bit versions on Win 7

I "bit the bullet" yesterday, also on 64 Win 7 and i'm darned if I can coax the Git icon overlays to work, Svn has continued to work flawlessly though. Everything else Git seems to be working though, as far as I've trialled so far anyhow.

Well, to answer my own question, I just bit the bullet and installed Tortoise Git and everything seems to be working with no problems. The icon overlays show up as expected with both git and svn. This is on Win2K.
