Great. Very useful, the Meld section most than all.
Btw, the wiki gives some params for meld:
http://www.rapidsvn.org/index.php/Documentation#Linux.2FUnix
These are the params: “%2″ “%4″ “%3″
Is it ok to setup meld this way, isn’t it?

This is a great tutorial for someone like me, who’s just taking his first steps using Ubuntu and is used to Windows and Tortoise.

Thanks a lot!

I have used RapidSVN for a while, but I also like PySVN (SVN-Workbench). And TortoiseSVN is decent on Windows. But now with IDE’s plugin like Subclipse/Subversive it’s even more intuitive

@Nyarlathotep Yes the nautilus script provides a TortoiseSVN like experience, but not as sophisticated as TortoiseSVN.

With nautilus (gnome) you can simulate Tortoise very easily, when you are adding simple shell script to the nautilus script menu. This way you can checkout, update, etc. from you file manager, but with the lack of the gui some operations.

I really like RapidSVN because it’s light-weight. When I use TortoiseSVN on Windows (Win 7), it takes Windows Explorer a while before it can display the SVN icons or refresh the icons after I’ve committed the code.

I’ve tried using RapidSVN for Windows, but it isn’t stable yet. I can’t run Linux as my operating system as I work as an ASP.NET developer. I hope some developers can make RapidSVN as stable on Windows as it is on Linux.
