Tom Mollerus' Weblog

Thanks to everyone who attended tonight's Boston CFUG presentation on using Subversion. If I can help anyone get set up with the server or a client, just let me know.

Wow. Between a new job with Ping Identity and attending the cf.Objective() conference, it's been at least 3 weeks since my last posting. Well, one of the things I learned at the conference came after asking a presenter for his opinion on whether there was any Subversion client for Macintosh that was worth using. The Finder plugin is a great idea, since it's like TortoiseSVN, but it's not full-featured and doesn't always show status overlays correctly; and other clients keep views of working folders and repositories in separate windows. Finally, other clients don't have a built-in diff program. The presenter didn't think that any Mac client was worth using either.

But someone from the end of my row in the audience told me to speak to him after the session was over, and he told me about Syncro SVN. It has everything you could want in a client-- an integrated view of your repositories, working directories, a great diff viewer, and session log. Plus, it has all of the features you might want, such as the ability to relocate working directories between repositories. If you're not satisfied with other Subversion clients on the Macintosh, I'd suggest you give Syncro SVN a look.
