This page lists Subversion clients that run on Mac OS X. I generally try to avoid supporting software that is not open source, therefore I make a clear distinction on this page between clients that are open source, and clients that are not.

Open source clients

Command line client

Mac OS X already includes the command line version of Subversion. The following command line example originates on Mac OS X 10.5.5:

There are a few places where you can get binary packages for different / newer versions:

CollabNet

Probably the most official (or at least popular) place is CollabNet's community downloads page: http://www.collab.net/downloads/community/

Notes about installing pysvn

Project blurb

'The pysvn project's goal is to enable Tools to be written in Python that use Subversion.'

Version

1.6.2

Release date

14.10.2008

Notes:

• py25_pysvn_svn153-1.6.2-1067-powerpc.dmg from here: http://pysvn.tigris.org/files/documents/1233/44035/py25_pysvn_svn153-1.6.2-1067-powerpc.dmg
• Why use this version?
  • Use the version for Python 2.5 because Mac OS X 10.5.5 has Python 2.5 installed
  • Use the version for Subversion 1.5.3 because there is no version for 1.4.x
    • Because of this I now have to be careful that pysvn does not touch working copies otherwise managed with the Subversion 1.4.x command line client that is part of Mac OS X)
• Mount disk image and install pysvn with the .pkg installer
• pysvn is installed to this location:

• On my system (Mac OS X 10.5) Python does not find pysvn in this location; presumably the location works on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
• Actually, on a pristine Mac OS X 10.5, this path doesn't even exist:

• For this reason I have to manually make pysvn available to the system's Python:
  • Login is administrator
  • Open Terminal.app
  • Issue this command

• Note: It is not possible to move stuff from /Library/Frameworks/.. to /Library/Python/.. because pysvn comes with a set of pre-built libraries which expect their dependencies to be present in /Library/Frameworks/..; a symptom indicating this problem is if there is an error similar to this:

Multi-platform GUI for the Subversion revision system that helps you browse an existing repository with aid of bookmarks, and edit, review, merge, delete and export data

RapidSVN is a cross-platform GUI for the Subversion revision system written in C++ with the aid of the wxWidgets framework. It comes with support for a Subversion client C++ API and helps you quickly browse an existing repository via bookmarks.

User-friendly looks and portability benefits

Rapidsvn Download For Macbook Pro

You are welcomed by a clean layout that reveals a well-structured suite of features and configuration parameters. There’s support for a help manual that offers information about the program’s functions. Since it's portable, you may copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices and run directly on the target computer.

Bookmarks and editing features

RapidSVN implements a server (repository) and client (working copy) which can be bookmarked so you can easily gain access to them. As soon as you bookmark a repository, you are allowed to browse throughout all the files on the server.

The utility gives you the possibility to edit a file (via Checkout) and ‘checkin’ the changes (via Commit), undo a local edit, add items and directories, insert your project directory, checkout a working copy of an existing repository, and view an existing Subversion sandbox with RapidSVN.

Reviewing and merging options

RapidSVN helps you review your changes by updating your work and copying, branching, tagging, moving or renaming files. When it comes to merging, you may combine the contents of one branch with another one or mix one branch with your trunk version.

Deleting and exporting data

You can remove files from both SVN and local hard drive (but you cannot delete modified files with changes that haven’t been applied to the repository), export data by creating a local copy of the repository without the SVN directories, as well as create a new repository only with the command ‘svnadmin.’

An efficient multi-platform GUI for the Subversion revision system

All in all, RapidSVN comes with a handy suite of features and delivers an intuitive interface for helping you browse an existing repository with aid of bookmarks.

The user-friendly layout makes it suitable for first-time SVN users while the robust functions can be enjoyed even by professionals. Some SVN tools like TortoiseSVN and Subcommander implement built-in Diff tools, but with RapidSVN you need to provide your own Diff program.
