Svn Tortoise For Mac
12 Subversion Apps for OS X. By Andrew Bednarz Feb 23, 2009 - 10:00 AM CDT. 43 Comments Tweet Share Post Subversion. Mac-Only SVN Clients. I myself haven’t tried Tortoise. I love Cornerstone. And it’s not just a skin for the OS X svn either – it has svn built in, which is very handy.
I'm trying to use svn 1.6 with my Xcode projects on lion. The server is a tortoise svn server on windows.
Svn Tortoise For Mac
I can check out the projects with no problem, but when I go to commit I get the error that svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file '/Volumes/SVNRepository/Mobile/db/txn-current-lock': Operation not supported The repository is fine. When I go to commit something to the same place with my windows client it works great. The windows client is 1.6.11 and the mac client is 1.6.12 I wouldn't think that would be that big of a deal. Is there a way to make the mac client work nicely with the windows server?
So far Mac SVN clients I've tried are a miss: Versions: difficult or impossible to add unversioned files in each commit (moved on after realizing that), Cornerstone: couldn't add unversioned folders, on one update some files were mangled somehow, and sometimes would not grab the latest update. Won't let me push past conflicts to commit all but the conflicted files. ventI ultimately lost 3 days of work. Out of frustration with Cornerstone's refusal to be cooperative and helpful I accidentally reverted an entire folder. My fault I know, but I'm looking for something that won't put me in a state of stupid anguish./vent I'd really like a Mac SVN client that is simple, lets me easily add unversioned files AND folders, and lets me deselect conflicts just before a commit rather than shutting me down simply because conflicts are there.
Tortoise SVN isn't perfect, but is so dead-simple to use, in addition to be nice and free. I'd appreciate recommendations on Mac SVN clients that have a similar simple elegance to Tortoise SVN, with good diff tools etc. That people find pleasant to use overall (if such a thing exists).
