Question
Is there a way to add a repository on my linux shared webhosting to use with tortoisesvn? Or is there something similar I can do as easy as using tortoise without buying hosting strictly for a repository like cvsdude or something?
Solution
If you cannot install new software on your shared host you either need to run a server you can control (like an old machine with Linux hooked up to your router with NAT port forwarding and a DynDNS alias so you can access your repository while on the road) or you'll have to use a commercial provider. These guys have a free plan which looks like it could get you started. (Never tried that provider, its just one of the first ones that comes up when I search.)

Here's the instructions on how to setup Apache to serve up an SVN repository.
Personally, I have a linux box at home that runs svnserve
on a port I opened on my router. It works great for small projects.
