Subversion on the mac

Filed under: Uncategorized — Paddy Mullen @ 6:47 pm

It’s painful, very painful.  I need to get better with the command line client, but I still miss Tortoise.  SCplugin simply doesn’t work on Macintel, not even the pre-compiled nightly build.  For a while I used svnX but I’m still not that impressed with it, because its a standalone application.  A friend recomended smartSVN a standalone java app, I haven’t tried it yet.

For now I am using tortoiseSVN under windows on my shared folder.  Yes it is an utterly inellegant solution.  Yes I’m paying 256 + megs of ram just for a version control client.  But most importantly, YES VERSION CONTROL IS THAT IMPORTANT.

Right now I’m thinking of writing my own tortoiseSVN clone with applescript and shell scripts.
