TortoiseSVN is an interesting tool for software and website developers that allows them to control the versions and modifications of any file.

As its name clearly says, TortoiseSVN is developed under the Subversion system called SVN, an Open Source version control software that tries to solve some bugs of CVS.

By this way, we’ll be able to prevent data loss due to the deletion of the file we didn’t want, because we’ll, always know what we have modified and the version of the file we are using, downloading or uploading.

TortoiseSVN works through Windows Explorer, integrating itself in the right-click menu and giving us direct access to its functions.

If you are not happy with CVS and you want to try something different, try TortoiseSVN.
