Good Linux Ubuntu SVN client

Question

Subversion has a superb client on Windows  Tortoise  of course   Everything I ve tried on Linux just - well - sucks in comparison

User · Answer

If TortoiseSVN is really ingrained you could try using it through WINE  Though I haven t tried it   Failing that  I ve found Eclipse with Subversive to be pretty good

User · Answer

I guess you could have a look at RabbitVCS     RabbitVCS is a set of graphical tools written to provide simple and straightforward access to the version control systems you use  Currently  it is integrated into the Nautilus file manager and only supports Subversion  but our goal is to incorporate other version control systems as well as other file managers    RabbitVCS is inspired by TortoiseSVN and others    I m just about to give it a try    seems promising

I sometimes use kdesvn for work directly against a repository   I often use Subclipse when working on projects via Eclipse   But most of all I use good ol  CLI   With some aliases and bash scripts to back it up  it really is the most concise  reliable method of using svn   I have tried NautilusSVN  no relation to NaughtySVN  and svn-workbench and found them too problematic or lacking in functionality   I know I tried RapidSVN at some point but I must not have been impressed as it was quickly uninstalled  but I don t remember anything about it

kdesvn is probably the best you ll find    Last I checked it may hook in with konqueror  but its been a while  I ve moved on to git

Nobody else has mentioned it and I keep forgetting the name so I m adding these instructions here for my future self the next time I google it     currently pagavcs seems to be the best option   you want one of these  deb files      sillyspamfilter   pagavcs googlecode com svn repo pool main p pagavcs     1 4 33 is what I have installed right now so try that one if the latest causes problems   install then run  nautilus -q   to shutdown nautilus  then open up nautilus again and you should be good to go without having to logout shutdown  Sadly rabbit just chokes on large repos for me so is unusable  paga doesn t slow down browsing but also doesn t seem to try and recourse into directories to see if anything has changed

Disclaimer  A long long time ago I was one of the developers for RabbitVCS  previously known as NautilusSvn    If you use Nautilus then you might be interested in RabbitVCS  mentioned earlier by Trevor Bramble   It s an unadulterated clone of TortoiseSVN for Nautilus written in Python  While there s still a lot of improvement to be made  especially in the area of performance  some people seem to be quite satisfied with it   The name is quite fitting for the project  because the story it refers to quite accurately depicts the development pace  meaning long naps   If you do choose to start using RabbitVCS as your version control client  you re probably going to have to get your hands dirty

Generally I just use the command line for svn  it s the fastest and easiest way to do it to be honest  I d recommend you try it  Before you dismiss this  you should probably ask yourself if there is really any feature that you need a GUI for  and whether you would prefer to open up a GUI app and download the files  or just type svn co svn   site-goes-here org trunk You can easily add  remove  move  commit  copy or update files with simple commands given with svn help  so for most users it is more than enough

To begin with  I will try not to sound flamish here     Sigh   Why don t people get that file explorer integrated clients is the way to go  It is so much more efficient than opening terminals and typing  Simple math   two mouse clicks versus  10  key strokes  Though  I must point out that I love command line since I do lot s of administrative work and prefer to automate things as quickly and easy as possible   Having been spoiled by TortoiseSVN on windows I was amazed by the lack of a tortoisesvn-like integrated client when I moved to ubuntu  For pure programmers an IDE integrated client might be enough but for general purpose use and for say graphics artists or other random office people  the client has to be integrated into the standard file explorer  else most people will not use it  at all  ever   Some thought s on some clients   kdesvn  The client I like the best this far  though there is one huge annoyance compared to TortoiseSVN - you have to enter the special subversion layout mode to get overlays indicating file status  Thus I would not call kdesvn integrated   NautilusSVN  looks promising but as of 0 12 release it has performance problems with big repositories  I work with repositories where working copies can contain  50 000 files at times  which TortoiseSVN handles but NautilusSVN does not  So I hope NautilusSVN will get a new optimized release soon   RapidSVN is not integrated  but I gave it a try  It behaved quite weird and crashed a couple of times  It got uninstalled after  20 minutes    I really hope the NautilusSVN project will make a new performance optimized release soon   NaughtySVN seems like it could shape up to be quite nice  but as of now it lacks icon overlays and has not had a release for two years    so I would say NautilusSVN is our only hope

As a developer  I use eclipse   sub-eclipse client  Assuming that you are using svn to checkout some development project and you will compile them    most people don t spend much time with svn operation  and command line is the fastest way to do so    there is also some nice GUI tools    http   rabbitvcs org   or  http   www harecoded com nautilus-subversion-integration-tool-execute-svn-commands-with-gnome-scripts-96355

If you use eclipse  subclipse is the best I ve ever used  In my opinion  this should exist as stand-alone as well    Easy to use  linked with the code and the project you have in eclipse    Just perfect for a developer who uses eclipse and wants a gui   Personally  I prefer the command-line client  both for linux and windows   Edit  if you use XFCE and its file manager  called Thunar   there s a plugin which works quite well  If I don t want to open the terminal  I just use that one  it has all the functionality  is fast and easy to use  There s also one for git included  though
