Hello,
I've searched for this but can't find an answer: what are the
differences (from user perspective) between the available connectors
(JavaHL e SVNKit) and wich one shoul I choose.
I understand that under Linux I have only the SVNKit option (right?) but
under Windows? Is there any difference?
I'm interested in the last release of subversive and connectors.
