SVN goodies, and a call for a nice repo browser

So I was looking around in the collab.net site and found some things that SVN users may find usefull.

in no particular order

  • bash completion
  • Delete all files that are not versioned, although I recentryl found out that “svn revert” will doI think does the same
  • grep without the cruft I find this one very nice, it is a grep that will filter all .svn files so your can actually find stuff on svn checkouts
  • and of course emacs integration that seems like a svn-mode whatever that is supposed to do.
  • and since for each use of emacs in a sentence I must say vi here is a vi’s syntax file there 2 to 1.

now about the repobrowser…

First don’t take me wrong I love svn CLI interface but sometimes you just want to browse the code see the changesets or just read the commit comments, in those cases I totally miss tortoiseSVN it’s windows explorer interface seem to me the best feature of the windows explorer.

So on linux I have found a couple of tools but none have given me the love of tortoise, currently I’m living with rapidSVN, while writting this post I found about some set of svn scripts for the gnome thru something call G-Script.
