"But SVN doesn't support feature <X>. No way can we use it!" Say stuff like that all you want, but recognize that there will *always* be a feature disparity between CVS and SVN. So maybe the Eclipse integration isn't "as nice" as you might like, but that is just one item. On the *other* side of the fence are SVN's features that CVS doesn't have: * atomic commits * WebDAV access * svn move, svn copy * O(1) tagging and branching * etc etc ... see http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more The suggestion that "lack of Eclipse" integration is enough to *not* consider SVN seems rather short-sighted. It seems like you aren't considering the other side of the equation. What do you *get* by switching? Given some of the recent moves in the repository, and given that more are probably on the way until Geronimo matures, then I think the lack of an 'svn move' (which tracks history of course!) seems like a pretty big opportunity cost. Of course, I'm biased :-), but I also think the discussion needs to think about more items than simply Eclipse integration. >... > From: "Daniel S.

RapidSVN is built upon wxWindows which works on the Mac, I believe. I know there are Fink packages for SVN, but I dunno about pkgs for RapidSVN. >... > From: Alex Blewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: SVN and Eclipse > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 22:33:03 +0100 > > No, subclipse is Win32-only. > > SVN clients may exist, but there's no way I'd want to use a source > management tool outside of Eclipse ...
