I am making the move to Source Control. I have chosen Subversion as the source control system and am now attempting to configure it with BBEdit. I have read the manual and have downloaded and installed the latest version of Subversion but am stuck on a couple of issues.

I have run this command on the command line: defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Subversion:SubversionToolPathOverride /usr/ local/bin/svn and rebooted BBEdit.

This is only necessary if subversion isn't in your PATH[1], or you've installed it in a non-standard location. /usr/local/bin/svn should be picked up by default.

[1] Your GUI PATH is different than your shell path, and requires separate means to manipulate. The GUI PATH is what BBEdit has access to.

I am using the instructions from the BBEdit manual starting at page 310 with a repository set up as svn://someuri.com (will be changed to svn_ssh://someuri.com). I'm a little confused about this statement from the manual "and you must enable the Subversion option in the Tools preference panel." Tools preference panel? I am using 8.6.1 and don't see that.

The documentation is in error. You can ignore that, and I'll log a bug against the documentation.

I am also having an issue with the Source Control preference panel. Specifically where it says Name and Root. Is "Name" where I put svn +ssh://someuri.com? I'm assuming the Root is the location of svn on my system. Is this correct? If so, it is as /usr/local/bin/svn. How do I choose that from the finder?

The name field is for you to give your configuration a meaningful name so that you can identify it later. It will show up by this name in the user interface in places such as the "Update Working Copy..." dialog.

For the root, choose the top-level folder of your subversion working copy that you've checked out with the command line tool.
