Why would you want to hack AnkhSVN 1.0.2 in Visual Studio 2008?
AnkhSVN 2.0 is out for over a year and has much better Subversion support for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008.
If you want Subversion 1.6 support, instead of the 1.4 in AnkhSVN 1.0.2 or 1.5 in AnkhSVN 2.0 you can also skip 2.0 and go directly to 2.1.
Hmm.. Cheers Bert – I agree with you on that note. I wasn’t aware an official version of Ankh supporting VS2008 .
