The SVNBridge project provides two related SVNBridge products with differing modes of operation:
* Either running as a client daemon ( systray item) on Windows systems allowing Subversion applications on the client to access Azure DevOps revision control items on a remote Azure DevOps server.
* Or as an IIS web application on the Azure DevOps server itself; thus enabling Subversion clients to connect directly to the Azure DevOps server using the Subversion
protocols, and without requiring additional software on the client. In this latter mode it provided an interoperability solution for Unix/ Linux/ macOS based Subversion tools.
