Well, that was pretty easy to figure out. As per my last post, I was going to try to break out the AIDE+gpg part of the Annvix tools subversion repo to be it's own git repo. It was scary simple.

First, the location of AIDE+gpg in the subversion …

Last week's mac techmail was Enterprise Subversion gets a boost with Cornerstone 2 which looks at my favourite GUI subversion client on the Mac: Cornerstone. The new version has gotten a seriously sweet overhaul with a lot of really nice new features and tweaks. Cornerstone is, in my opinion, top …

This week's techmail is Work on remote Subversion repositories locally with Git which talks about using Git locally to interface with a remote (or local, even) subversion repository. Involved in a project that uses Subversion as their version control system, but prefer to use Git? No problem. The svn-git plugin …

This week's mac techmail is Using Cornerstone to handle Subversion on the Mac. Subversion is my favourite VCS; I moved to it from CVS years ago. Git is still pretty new to me and one day I may invest more time into using it more fully, but subversion still has …

Last week's Techmail was Manage dotfile configuration with subversion which goes into use subversion to manage all those pesky little .foo files in $HOME.

This week's TechMail is Check out subversion repositories with ViewVC which is pretty much just about installing and configuring the ViewVC web-based tool to view subversion repositories (works with cvs too).

This has ticked me off for a bit, and I finally decided to find out why. Tab completion in zsh was returning the following every time I tried to use it, after upgrading to subversion 1.5:

_arguments:comparguments:303: invalid argument: ARG

Found some weirdness with subversion 1.5 today. I had previously upgraded to 1.5.1 when it came out (from 1.4.x) and found I couldn't commit to svn+ssh urls. 1.5.2 fixes that, but has a naughty habbit of upgrading the repository format behind your …

These are older tips I wrote for TechRepublic but I found myself needing to look them up before and realized they weren't linked on my blog. Of course, with over 200 articles written for TechRepublic over the last 7-8 years, that's not surprising. =)
