Honestly? VCS's and interfacing with them might end up being (if it hasn't already become) the next text editor-alike 'war'. Everyone has their own opinion for what to use and how to interface with it.
IMO, All the free Mac SVN apps suck (and some paid ones too). I've tried (Here's some suggestions to look into) svnX, Syncro SVN, ZigSource, that Finder plugin, using Xcode, command line, Versions.app and Cornerstone. Versions.app is the only one I didn't hate after 5 minutes of using. If I didn't get Versions.app, Cornerstone would probably get my vote.
My advice? Either get very comfortable with the command line or chalk up the $ and buy a copy of Versions.app or Cornerstone (Versions.app has a student discount, not sure about Cornerstone. Both have trials.) Neither is cheap for software (over $50) but in the long run, its not even a drop in a bucket compared to what you can make coding.
- weaksauce 18y agoI must second the fact that there does not seem to be a decent free GUI subversion client for the mac. I tried a lot of them and they all came up lacking. That said I liked versions the best of all the clients that I tried. To me it was worth every penny as I do not like fighting with the tools I use.
