RapidSVN -- No Freelancer Should Be Without This

Post by volomike »

I've been fighting with SVN on a project because several clients use Subversion. I was doing it all by command line based on my client's recommendation. Occasionally I would upload stuff into the wrong area in Subversion, which, as you know, is a pain to clear up once you do that.

The fix was to do 'apt-get install rapidsvn' on Ubuntu Linux. It's GTK2+ based so it works with the GNOME GUI without extra libraries. (I think there's qsvn or something like that for the QT/KDE environment.) Anyway, this thing is a beauty. Once I got up and running with this, I was doing great. However, some command line knowledge of SVN is essential so that you know how to get around with that first -- makes it easier to understand the Rapid SVN interface. Also, here's a VERY USEFUL ARTICLE on SVN.
