SnailSVN – SVN for Finder App Reviews
Absolutly top app… everything works perfect …. it is cheaper than other tools you can buy in www and has all functions you need to push your svn …. thank you !!!!!!
This works very well, even with https. Excellent Finder integration. Keeps getting better. Menu options now include Upgrade Working Copy and in Settings you may select the SVN version. This is a very useful and needed upgrade to the functionality. Note that to use the “Clean Up” you must right click on the blank space of working copy - if files are selected, the menu item is not available. Right-click SVN Info, then the menu options for SVN Import, Upgrade Working Copy, etc. become available. When looking at the log file entries, you can now diff or merge examine between the two or even between one of the revision levels to the current code base. This is (now) a 5-star and IMO necessary purchase for OSX development. For the cost, this is an excellent piece of software with terrific support. Creator: nice job on this!
I know it’s only 1.0 but it’s very limited. I’m forced to do checkout from terminal and even with that I get an error: "svn: E155021: This client is too old to work with the working copy”. For now it’s not worth that money but I hope and believe that with updates it will eventually be as succcesful as tortoise. Keep up!
The first good svn client with Finder integration. Btw there are a lot things to do: 1) Select/deselect all button on commit. 2) Hierarchical finder catalog overlay - if top dir should change status if subdir do. 3) Error log sometimes do not fit screen. 4) Commit/update option for top dir of repository.
After buying this software I am trying to download a SVN repository since several days. Every time the download breaks down I can’t just update and keep going where I left off. I have to checkout again. The repository I am downloading is several GB and therefore the chance that the download is interrupted is pretty high.
The vision of a tortoise-like SVN client that’s fully integrated into the finder is exactly what I was looking for. And the price is great… if it worked. After installation and following all the troubleshooting tips, the finder badges don’t appear and the options don’t appear in the right-click menu. I’d gladly pay more once they get the kinks ironed out… but it’s not ready to ship just yet.
I bought SnailSVN over a week ago and use it to manage a 500 MB site. I haven’t had any issues that weren’t user related and the app works well. Thanks for making this available!
It can be more convenient than the command line, but there are several little issues that make it far from great: - does not work with svn 1.8 working copies - icons and dialog layout taken straight from TortoiseSVN (not a good thing) - no way to edit files in diff view - no graphical merge - no way to specify an external merge/diff tool to address the shortcomings above - reverting some changes seems to fail without using the force checkbox, but doesn’t really tell you why - adding a folder on the commit dialog requires closing and reopening the dialog to see the files inside the folder - no interface for “svn cleanup” - random X and Lock icon overlays hang around in finder after some update actions Overall it feels more like a beta than a version 1.0, hopefully it will get better with time.
