@Me, myself and I: I am GIT-only now and it's great, even with no good GUIs to speak of. But I'm always glad to hear that the *nix's are keeping up.

Off topic/@Daniel Rosenstark: Idunno if it's still interesting, but you were mentioning TortoiseSVN in your post two years ago. In the meantime kdesvn has come a long way, enough so that I don't feel any loss now that I switched to Kubuntu and have no TortoiseSVN anymore.

Hi Barney, thanks for your comment. I'll keep testing and post here again if I see the light with Subeclipse, or if I have more details on the problems that I've been having.

Daniel,

I can't say I've shared your experience with Subclipse or Subversive. Switching sometimes takes a while (most of our working copies are in the 400MB range), but I've never had it crash out. In any case, you should be able to issue a Cleanup command, and then reswitch and pick up where you left off.

I've been working with Subeclipse for the last few weeks and we do a LOT of branching and switching (we use a full branch for every modification) and I must say that for anything beyond commits, I use Tortoise. Subeclipse does weird stuff or crashes on any kind of branch op… I could document the behavior but I'm usually too busy deleting my entire build, putting a new one back in place, and doing an update from SVN.

TortoiseSVN is one of a handful of apps that keep me using Windows (for now), although soon it will be relegated to a VirtualBox.

Neither really. But I havn't used branching/taging yet, but I'm using this features very often, so when I will have any practice about branching/taging then I post here my point of view.

sNop,

You haven't had any problems with what?

I'm using newset Subversive and I haven't any problems with this.

Thanks for the review… I too was curious about switching over. I do wish Subclipse had the functionality that TortoiseSVN does… it especially struggles with deleting files and I've had quite a few times when it's managed to eat itself.
