I stumbled on SmartSVN, a cross-platform SVN client with support for OS X, Windows and Linux and so far, it has served me well.Ĭommon operations such as commit, rollback and tagging are few clicks away. When I made a switch to Mac, I had to find an alternative to TortoiseSVN since it has no Mac version. In the past when i was a PC (windows OS) user, TortoiseSVN served me well.
The only time i use SVN is when i want to deploy a new or updated version of my WordPress plugins. Users/nealn/svn/prodit/operations/sendmail/trunk/clusters/icm-app/sun5/etc/init.dĬannot display: file marked as a binary type.I have never fully grokked the use of Subversion (SVN) as a version control system on the command-line like Git and as such, relies on GUI applications such as TortoiseSVN. Neals-mbp:init.d nealn$ file –mime-type ls-route When using the SnailSVN GUI there is no option to tell svn that the files are text files. TortoiseSVN is one of the most powerful Apache subversion (SVN) clients that you can. On the command line the workaround is to use svn –force diff, which then treats all files as Text. I know Tortoise SVN is best for Windows, but what about for Mac. When trying to perform a “svn diff” on a bash shell script file, svn errors out stating that file is marked as binary.
