If you figure out Textmates subversion usage please let me know ... I am a huge fan of textmate and am registered user (serial number) #1331.

Sorry, so far I only figure how the ’checkout’ works. I selected it, and it asks for URL, so I enter: "http://svn.modxcms.com/svn/tattoo/tattoo/branches/0.9.7/" thus I was able to export. I think I maybe able to figure the "Diff" and ’revert’ if there is a new update from 0.9.7 branches as they seems quite self-explanatory.

Yes, everything I discover something new from Textmate, I am liking it more smiley

My serial is #1436 smiley.

Just to give perhaps perhaps a clearer understanding of version control terminology (assuming that I understand it wink ):


  • "Checkout" assumes that you will be making local copies of files in the repository, working on them, then "committing" the changes back to the repository to be available to others. Since most of us only have read-only access to the repository, the "commit" part is theoretical.

  • "Export" is a different process which assumes that you want to make copies of the files but without the intention of editing them and committing the changes.
  • "Update" allows you to accept the changes to the repository made by others (after you checked your copy out) into your current working copy.
  • "Merge" lets you merge two separate sets of changes together (usually assuming that various people were working on different parts of the file(s) so there are no conflicts).


There’s a good online book about using SVN in general here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ The examples are for a command line version but the concepts of version control with SVN are relevant to any client.

This page has particularly good stuff on the meaning and process of checking out, committing, and updating: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch02s03.html

I’ve used SVN X on Mac, but it doesn’t handle merges or diffs in it’s gui. http://www.versionsapp.com/ looks interesting but hasn’t hit beta yet.

Yeah, I feel much comfortable working with GUI. as working on terminals and unix command lines make me very nervous.

So far, I figured out how to export from Textmate’s subversion bundle. It uses ’checkout’ which I thought is a command for ending a session of a sort. I see Textmate’s version handles merges and diffs. Someone from a listserv gave me this wonderful software last year as she already purchased a copy, and got a free copy later from another software she purchased.

I use it mainly for PHTML and XML files, am glad that I can put the software a better use now.]]> chinesedream Jan 21, 2008, 06:30 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/32115/choosing-and-using-an-svn-client#dis-post-173864 <![CDATA[Re: Choosing and using an SVN client]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/32115/choosing-and-using-an-svn-client#dis-post-173863 http://www.versionsapp.com/ looks interesting but hasn’t hit beta yet.]]> rethrash Jan 21, 2008, 03:52 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/32115/choosing-and-using-an-svn-client#dis-post-173863 <![CDATA[Re: Choosing and using an SVN client]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/32115/choosing-and-using-an-svn-client#dis-post-173862 splittingred Jan 21, 2008, 02:12 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/32115/choosing-and-using-an-svn-client#dis-post-173862 <![CDATA[Re: Choosing and using an SVN client]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/32115/choosing-and-using-an-svn-client#dis-post-173861 Quote from: chinesedream at Jan 21, 2008, 02:52 PM
