SVN client for Mac OS X Leopard worthy of Tortoise SVN
Saturday, May 31st, 2008
One piece of software I’m really missing after crossing over to Mac from a PC is Tortoise SVN. It is seamlessly integrated into shell, and is easy to use. I use SVN only to update my local working copy and commit changes to SVN server. I don’t need no fancy options, just that… and the ability to syn/commit only selected folder or file.
The first option that came to use is Eclipse. It did have a SVN extension which worked pretty well for the basic tasks I needed, but it felt like using a jumbo jet to fetch a pack of chewing gums! And one day - it stopped working. Some kind of Java error, and since I was unhappy with Eclipse from the very beginning, I started searching for the alternative.
Man, I didn’t realize what a trouble that will be! It seems that every Mac person handles SVN from the Terminal. I just couldn’t find plain and simple SVN client with graphical front end, that doesn’t need SSH tunneling or wormholes/rocket sience of any kind. Just when I was preparing to give up, Syncro SVN client showed up in some 15th Google search query. That’s it! Yeah, that’s it!
Plain and simple, Syncro SVN client handles things just as good as Tortoise SVN. It has SVN+SSH support that I needed, and I am a happier coder now, thank you SyncRO soft!

Here’s an old thought for you, just as a reminder: When building backlinks, consider the sites that share a common theme with yours first. If you can’t find enough websites to link back, you can ask the webmaster of a site that’s not themed similar to yours to write an article that’s theme related to your website. Better yet - write it yourself and send it to him.
