I've found some decent third party clients for OSX, but nothing I have been very happy with on Windows, thus far. WebDAV for Subversion on linux/osx at least committs a lot of changes - a single 'save' will create a new file, delete the old and then a rename (making 3 changesets). Without a chance to even document what the saving entails, the revision log gets close to unusable - also seeing that the new file breaks the revision history of the old file it replaces (added as a new file every time). One project manager with an Office document and a life-log habit of continually hitting 'ctrl- s' (as you never know when office will crash...) will make 100's of changes in the repos during a morning editing session... At least this was my experience back at svn 1.3/1.4 when I tested and rejected the idea of using it. I don't think anything has changed since, but haven't looked either. :::simon --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Trac Users group.

[Trac] Re: trac module for commiting code in subversion
You can access svn via file:/// URLs from within Trac. We do this for a very limited set of scenarios where a commit is initiated from within Trac (e.g. tagging releases - not a general svn client), but this bypasses things like path based authentication (since you're not going through the svn server code) so you have to take care to restrict the commits in your logic (meaning don't let the user specify random paths from within Trac). Trac does have a module for processing svnauthz files so even if you are using path based authentication in Subversion, but not in Trac, you can still determine whether a commit would be allowed by the Subversion server code. I think that this is the same thing that trac-hacks does to create a new project/hack when you register one. It's probably worth mentioning that this presumes that your Trac users match exactly to your Subversion user names.

[Trac] Re: trac module for commiting code in subversion
Trac is a read-only viewer, you cannot alter the repo in any way. If you are using mod_dav_svn it is very easy to setup both Trac and SVN to use the same authentication config (just copy over the Apache config block). If you are using svnserve's password file, look at the AccountManager plugin. If you are using svn+ssh there a backend for accountmanager to use pwauth (http://code.google.com/p/pwauth/). --Noah On Sep 16, 2009, at 11:00 AM, Frederiko Costa wrote: Hello, Simple and quick question: I was able to work with the trac's svn- browser.
