Versions – Mac Subversion Client
I’ve been waiting for Versions to come out for about a year now. I have been using Subversion for a couple years now and there really hasn’t been any clients for the Mac that I have given me the Mac experience I have been used to in quite a few of my other applications. I had tried ZigVersion a while back and I don’t know if it’s changed much, but it didn’t work out so well for me. It wasn’t a bad experience, it just wasn’t what I was looking for. On the PC side, I use TortoiseSVN, but the Mac-like client didn’t seem to function as well as the PC. Since then I’ve been using SmartSVN. This has so far worked out the best for me, but I don’t really care for the interface and since it’s a Java app it doesn’t seem to play well with Spaces.
I was looking for something better and I saw a post on TUAW about a year ago and decided to sign up for the mailing list. Today I saw another post that the beta had been released so I thought I would try it out. I loaded all my current repositories into the client and everything seemed to work okay today. The interface was new to me, but after a short while I was able to get used to where everything is located.
