Zem,
For someone unfamiliar with the benefits, do you care to explain the difference to me, or point me toward a resource that does. Thanks :)

PS thanks for posting the zipped file for the svn unsavvy

Matthew,

The metissian binaries will get you up and running with subversion right away. For OSX the best GUI’s I’ve come across are

svnX which I find kind of confusing
RapidSVN which is actually pretty good

If you use Textmate the svn bundle is pretty rockin and skEdit 3.6 has SVN support (although I haven’t updated mine yet to see how it works).

SVN is not that hard to get a hang of and it’s pretty nice once you learn it. You start wnating to put your whole life in it. Well at least I did.

There is also the wget approach if you are on a windows box. That’s what I use I found tortoise VERY buggy of two laptops I installed on. So hcgtv you are not the only one ;)

Did Zem say somewhere that using Subversion allows you to see the documentation about the changes? Where shall I look for any added tags or features? Other than from what I gather from the mailing list, which it seems a lot of gets into (or is geared toward 4.1 rather than svn?)

You can always check the timeline but SVN will give you all that in it’s logs also and let you diff between versions, all sorts of fun stuff. Check out the guided tour in the SVN book for the basic concepts and commands.

Funny I use tortoise all day long at work and so far it’s been pretty rock solid on all our machines except when using the repo-browser. Now if only I could make more sense out of tortoiseMerge.

patrick,

Thanks man, all those links are proving really helpful. I’ll be checking it out. I just can’t let my wife know I’m learning any of this stuff, she’s already afraid “I’ve gone geek”.

For someone unfamiliar with the benefits, do you care to explain the difference to me, or point me toward a resource that does.

Subversion lets you see changes between revisions, and fetch any revision with a single command.

wget leaves off the revision tags on each file, so you can’t see which version you’re using, and Textpattern’s diagnostics won’t display it.

Downloading & extracting from a zip file can take 3 or 4 steps using several different tools. Subversion does it in one step.

Thanks Zem. Good to know. I think I’ll work toward figuring out SVN. Seems worth it in the long run.

I installed, and used, TortoiseSVN on three different XP machines. Everyday config. Work like a charm. ANd yes, it’s impossible to make it simpler, and it’s so useful on a daily basis.

I love it, I really do. Never had a problem with installing or using it.

michaelkpate · 2006-03-01 13:53:49

I have tried some of the alternative methods, but never had a problem with TortioseSVN. It always works like a charm.

hcgtv · 2006-03-01 14:53:13

I settled on RapidSVN 0.9.1 and it works fine, at least I’m able to grab off the files.

I tried TortoiseSVN 1.3.2.5840 and had the same issues, Explorer crashes on right click.

Didn’t even know about the Wget option, neat way of doing it.

Thanks for the zip file zem, should help those having issues with SVN get to testing.
