So, after struggling with all other SVN clients, I’ve settled on a commercial product, Syncro SVN Client. It’s no TortoiseSVN, but it’s got all of the major SVN functionality, it works, and it’s stable. Combine that with the light bit of stuff that I do via Subclipse, and I’ve got all the SVN goodness I need to get along.

I’m still holding out hope for a TortiseSVN port, though.

    Iotoashan,
    what is it that you miss about tortoise? and what is it you can’t do on the mac software that you can do with tortoise or subclipse?

    I ask because I’ve been ponding a move to mac myself and I’m wondering about "the little things" I’m going to give up.

    Tortoise was straightforward, easy to use. It was integrated with explorer, and worked well.

    There are no working SVN clients that integrate with the Finder. You have to use an application, and all their interfaces are screwy. Luckily, most of my experience with SVN is checking in changes I’ve made, which can be done in Eclipse with Subversion.

    Aye.. I was in the same boat when I switched over to a MAC. I had used Syncro before on a pc, but had forgotten about it when looking for clients for the mac.. glad I found it again…
