Those of you who are into that sort of thing probably already knew about (and love) the Subversion bundle for TextMate[1]. I've been using it for ages and its truly wonderful in terms of productivity and seamless integration. However, the one thing that always bothered me is that there are some times when I just want to check the Subversion status of a particular directory or perhaps check in a single file without opening up the whole thing in TextMate. Usually, I switch to iTerm, and "svn stat PATH" (or whatever) right from there.
But no more...
I just now found out that PathFinder (which is also one of those "change the way you work" apps that I use and love) has SVN integration built right in! All you have to do is navigate to a directory that is under svn control, hit Control-Command-S and voilá!
Holy CRAP that's awesome... One less reason to go to Terminal and, it seems, to develop a Subversion GUI client for the Mac...
[1] - If you do development on Mac OS X and aren't already using either TextMate or Subversion or both, get thee to Google now. It will change the way you work permanently and for the better.
UPDATE: See the first comment, It's built in and easy! And apparently completely undocumented anywhere on the internets...
Hey you geeks out there! I'm looking for a "nightly build" or on-demand archive plugin for Subversion or Trac and I'm wondering if perhaps the Greater Vox knowledge base has any leads for me.
What I would hope to do is make something like this accessible to normal users who don't know what Subversion is via a special URL. For example, if they are trying to get a zip archive of:
http://code.sixapart.com/trac/mtplugins/browser/trunk/RebuildQueue/
...they could just go to:
http://code.sixapart.com/trac/mtplugins/browser/trunk/RebuildQueue/download/zip
...or maybe:
http://code.sixapart.com/svn/mtplugins/trunk/RebuildQueue/download/zip
The actual URLs aren't the important part here. What is important is that there is a brainless way to get a downloadable archive of source code via a browser from Trac or Subversion and that implementing this system is equally brainless.
Is there anything out there which does this or is this really a roll-your-own system?
