Moving to Mac: SVN

Tags: ,

I loved TortoiseSVN. I miss TortoiseSVN. I’ve found a great tool for the Mac that does a very poor impression of TortoiseSVN, but is still useable. scplugin is a Finder contextual menu item that exposes most SVN commands. It’s worked like a charm, so far.

Wanting to also see some GUI stuff, I downloaded svnX, which is a great tool, also. The combination of the two I think will suit me just fine.

Yes, I have subclipse installed, but just like on Windows, I don’t like using it. The only reason it gets installed is so .svn directories don’t get copied over as assets when I compile my Flex projects :)

    @shan: Did you have to install the command-line SVN client from CollabNet prior to working with svnX?

    Nope… OS X 10.5 comes with SVN already installed.

    Very cool! I didn’t know that! I almost went through the SVN install. Glad I asked. How’s SCPlugin working out for you? I sent you an email last night asking about feedback for the apps you’ve installed.

    I’m not impressed with SCPlugin or svnX at this point. More to follow as I give the "Eww, this isn’t TortoiseSVN" factor time to wear off.

    I know what you mean. I installed SCPlugin and uninstalled it 30 minutes after. Something as simple as keeping login credentials for a secure repo that I access wasn’t working so that nixed it for me. Have you tried any others?
