They have a two-week trial, which is more than enough to get a feel for the product, it’s so simple and well-executed.

It’s intuitive, and as you adjust the settings it automatically performs a trial merge and gives you the results in real time. It’s merge facility is the best approach I’ve seen, for example. It’s as pretty as “Versions” and as powerful (if not moreso) than TortoiseSVN. So, I was very excited to find “Cornerstone,” which was recently upgraded to support the slickest SVN interface I’ve seen on any platform. If you’re not branching and merging, you might as well just use a good backup system, because that’s pretty much all you’re using SVN for at that point. Namely, it doesn’t support merging or branching, which is pretty much the most important reason for using a versioning system like SVN. It’s got a beautiful interface, but it’s an interface to very little. Drag and drop support is lacking and the UI is very un-Mac. Unfortunately, thats also its biggest downfall.

One of my favorite things is that its completely cross-platform and I can use an identical interface whether Im working on a Windows or Mac machine. So, everybody was happy but us Mac folks.Ī program called “Versions” has been available for a while, but it, sadly, epitomizes the style over substance sin that is so prevalent on the Mac. This is a really nice, full-featured SVN client.

Windows folks had TortoiseSVN, and Linux folks wouldn’t be caught dead using anything other than command line tools (or, git, for that matter).

To the one guy remaining, rejoice:įor the longest time, there has been no good SVN interface available on the Mac. If you don’t have a Mac, or don’t know what SVN is, please accept my apologies for this very directed post.
