Svnx

Subversion is a version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community.

SvnX is a straightforward application that makes it as easy as possible for you to work with SVN repositories on a Mac. The Repository Inspector and the Copy Inspector make working with copies a. You've got a few free options available to you: SmartSVN - a cross-platform solution that will work on Windows, Mac and Linux. Pysvn - another cross-platform client, free of course. SCPlugin - Mac-only, integrates into Finder. Th svnX open-source GUI client for Mac OS X provides support for most features of the standard svn client, including working with local working copies as well as a useful remote repository browser. It supports all Subversion versions from 1.4 through to 1.7 and is the best open-source GUI Subversion client for Mac OS.

You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as Nvu, Sparkleor Code Collector Pro, which might be relatedto svnX.

The easiest way to install Subversion for OS X is to use Martin Ott's binary packages.

Features of Subversion

Most current CVS features

Svnx For Mac Mojave

Subversion is meant to be a better CVS, so it has most of CVS's features. Generally, Subversion's interface to a particular feature is similar to CVS's, except where there's a compelling reason to do otherwise.

Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned

Lack of these features is one of the most common complaints against CVS. Subversion versions not only file contents and file existence, but also directories, copies, and renames. It also allows arbitrary metadata ('properties') to be versioned along with any file or directory, and provides a mechanism for versioning the `execute' permission flag on files.

Commits are truly atomic

No part of a commit takes effect until the entire commit has succeeded. Revision numbers are per-commit, not per-file; log messages are attached to the revision, not stored redundantly as in CVS.

Apache network server option, with WebDAV/DeltaV protocol

Subversion can use the HTTP-based WebDAV/DeltaV protocol for network communications, and the Apache web server to provide repository-side network service. This gives Subversion an advantage over CVS in interoperability, and provides various key features for free : authentication, path-based authorization, wire compression, and basic repository browsing.

Standalone server option

Subversion also offers a standalone server option using a custom protocol (not everyone wants to run Apache 2.x). The standalone server can run as an inetd service, or in daemon mode, and offers basic authentication and authorization. It can also be tunnelled over ssh.

Branching and tagging are cheap (constant time) operations

There is no reason for these operations to be expensive, so they aren't.

Branches and tags are both implemented in terms of an underlying 'copy' operation. A copy takes up a small, constant amount of space. Any copy is a tag; and if you start committing on a copy, then it's a branch as well. (This does away with CVS's 'branch-point tagging', by removing the distinction that made branch-point tags necessary in the first place.)

Natively client/server, layered library design

Subversion is designed to be client/server from the beginning; thus avoiding some of the maintenance problems which have plagued CVS. The code is structured as a set of modules with well-defined interfaces, designed to be called by other applications.

Client/server protocol sends diffs in both directions

The network protocol uses bandwidth efficiently by transmitting diffs in both directions whenever possible (CVS sends diffs from server to client, but not client to server).

Costs are proportional to change size, not data size

In general, the time required for an Subversion operation is proportional to the size of the changes resulting from that operation, not to the absolute size of the project in which the changes are taking place.This is a property of the Subversion repository model.

Efficient handling of binary files

Subversion is equally efficient on binary as on text files, because it uses a binary diffing algorithm to transmit and store successive revisions.

Parseable output

All output of the Subversion command-line client is carefully designed to be both human readable and automatically parseable; scriptability is a high priority.


Svnx For Macbook Air

As I am a beginner to this Subversion and I need it for my work
reasons, I need your help to solve this simple problem of how to
install it correctly.
STEPS ON HOW I INSTALLED SUBVERSION
1. I installed these 2 impt softwares from the website.
[http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx/
download/]
2. I installed the first software svnx and then installed the binary
file (obtained from Martin Ott)
3. When I open the file, the prompt up box prompts me to enter the
local directory (/local/users/bin). I did not change it at all. I just
leave it there.
4. I key in the repository url and working copy url as instructed by
my friend who is an expert in SubVersion (but only for Window. He is
totally unfamiliar with Macintosh).
5. When I double click on the repository url (verified correct), it
hanged for a while and then I had to kill the application.
RESULTS
The expected outcome is that I shld see the window display of all the
files
on respository and working copy directory. But the SVNX application
hanged
and forces me to kill it.
Secondly, it seems that I could not locate /local/users/bin as I am
using
Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Leopard.
I am not sure whether I key in the correct directory for the binary
file.
i.e. /local/users/bin.
Can you advise on whether the directory given that I am using the
latest model of MAC could be a problem here as I cannot find that
directory in the FINDER. I key in '/local/users/bin', '/bin', it does
not show any results. But when I select 'Go' and click 'Go Folder', I
can actually find the bin folder which seems that it is actually a
hidden folder!
OTHER INFO
Last time, I tried to download the binary file obtained from
http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/get-started-with-subversion-using-svnx/.
Instead of placing the file in the bin folder, I created a new folder
and placed the binary file there. I changed the directory pointing to
the binary and it worked. But the problem is that I cannot see the
window display as there is an error message saying that the connection
to the server does not work.
It seems that the binary file, that i downloaded last time, might not
be compatible with the svn software
Pls advise.
