Hi folks,
Bart the SVN tool you want is SCPlugin (http://scplugin.tigris.org/). I have not try it as long as I'm not a SVN user any more (please change to Git). Thank you very much for you classical music podcast recommendation (I'll tell him you recommend it to me
).
By the way I think it was unfortunate the Keaton comments regarding Version.app. I have been 15 years working with control versions and 5 working with subversion and when I reviewed Version.app it was a great app (not just some scrips). I you find it expensive, do not get it, but It is not a good idea to evaluate the tool only for its price.
Thanks for the podcast and good luck!!
Hey Jose (Sorry, I'm sure you get that a lot, but I couldn't resist),
I wasn't evaluating it on price alone, but it is important to take that into account while reviewing an app. Both Versions.app and Cornerstone.app (Which was the one I reviewed because my trial of Versions ran out long ago) are very nice, but for that price I decided it was a better idea to just use the terminal, or at least one of the free alternatives.
Also, I have been looking at GIT as well, what are the advantages of that over SVN?
Thanks for the comment -Keaton
Hi Keaton, thaks for answering back.
It is a difficult question…. so I copy here some text I write some time ago:
Why Git?
I guess there is nothing you can do with GIT that you cannot do with SVN. So it may be a matter of taste. But, probably, the things that make me get GIT are:
It is fully distributed: You do not need a server (nor internal neither external) to update with everything lies in a single folder (.git) in your project folder. You can very simple clone or fork everyone else’s project do your own.
It is cleaner: Your code is pristine as long as everything control version related is in a single folder (.git).
It is faster: Searching the web you may find lots of git-svn comparatives. Most of them will tell you that git is twice [1] faster than others. This information comes from tests performed by the people at Mozilla.
“Here”: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitSvnComparsion you may find a very good comparison between both tools remarking good points of both tools.
