Branching with Versions

Wow. Sometimes things are so simple you don’t realize how to go about them. Earlier I stated that Versions lacked the ability to Branch/Tag in SVN. I was very wrong. All you have to do is select your repository bookmark to browse a given repo, drag your project’s trunk folder onto your branches/tags folder while holding the option key (you’ll see a green plus just like you do in finder) and let go of your mouse button. It’ll then ask for a commit comment and you’re done. It couldn’t possibly be simpler. Brilliant.

Best Mac OS X SVN GUI Client? Versions.

So I’ve been using a combination of command line + eclipse/subsclipse/subversive and my basic satisfaction has fallen someplace between meh and screw this. The other day, someone showed me a promising beta app called Versions. It’s free (at the moment anyway), and it works great, although it doesn’t yet have some features. What it does have, works really well plus it’s easy to use and fast. Two thumbs up from AMDev.
