Versions – New subversion client for Apple OSX

I’ve been using Subversion for some years now for some internal projects at Sterc. Because of my recent switch to mac, TortoiseSVN wasn’t available anymore for me. I tried several subversion clients and ended up with svnX, Textmate’s internal subversion and Zend Studio’s internal subversion.

I mostly used svnX but it had some downfalls:
- no svn:ignore
- unintuitive interface
- no more development in the past year (or I’ve missed something…)

I stumpled upon an article on John Mertic’s blog today about Versions. Looking at Versions’ website I already got excited! A well designed site, a bit to much text on one page though, but way better than other subversion clients’ sites. I downloaded the demo, installed it, added a repository and everything works like a charm, very intuitive!

I will be using the Versions demo for the next 21 days and we’ll see if I will stay this excited about it. I’ll keep you posted.
