Comments on: Subversion Scripts for Finder http://www.adambyrtek.net/2008/02/24/subversion-scripts-for-finder/ Skeptical Point of View Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:34:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Adam Byrtek http://www.adambyrtek.net/2008/02/24/subversion-scripts-for-finder/#comment-38 Adam Byrtek Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:45:20 +0000 http://www.adambyrtek.net/2008/02/24/subversion-scripts-for-finder/#comment-38 Thanks for your comments! I considered migrating my personal repositories to Git, but I'm quite happy with my current setup, so it's still on my someday/maybe list. Anyway I still have to work with existing Subversion repositories, and Subversion is much more popular comparing to other version control systems, so it was a reasonable decision to prepare scripts supporting it.

Even if you don't need dedicated server in subversion for your repository you need to first import and checkout your project that is a big PITA. In git everything is simple you just enter the work directory at the moment you decide that it's important to have it versioned and you issue 'git init'. Starting from that moment everything is versioned. What is even more interesting - git is transparent and if you use subversion as your official vcs you can still use git locally to track all your small modifications and branching. Later on, using git extended options you will be able to commit all the changes to your central subversion repository. This makes the transition really smooth. @Tomek: I don't know what's the difference for end users if something is written in python/ruby/c....?

I don't claim that it is a better option, but certainly more popular, and there are many tools and plugins that support Subversion. @Tomek: Subversion also doesn’t need a dedicated server, it can work directly from a filesystem or through a ssh tunnel.

It's so simple to make it just work for version control. You don't need to create separate repository just for keeping your files and you don't need to have separate server for colaboration or storing files on external machine. Bazaar can work via ssh, ftp and others, including svn repo. It's easier for me to use it, seems more intuitive. Did I mention it's also written in Python?
