I wrote an article about a year ago, about svn (Subversion) being missing in Mountain Lion (10.8) and how to install it manually. Since then, I’ve got a new mac and have used myself this post to install it on the new machine. Since then there has also been new versions of subversion but unfortunately all my software are not compatible with it. So I’ve been looking into this topic again and wanted to share.

I compared three clients in Deveo’s SVN client comparison, SmartSVN, svnX and SnailSVN. All of them are free, at least for personal use. All of them are free, at least for personal use. In my opinion, you should test different options in order to find the most suitable option for you. So there are quite a few ways to install subversion on your mac and handle different versions. The one I like best is still just installing it with Homebrew and switching to the one I use most. The other versions are still available by other switching to a particular version as shown above or by using the svn command from a particular version in the Homebrew Cellar e.g. Don't use SVN in Apple's command line tools package-Don't get SVN with MacPorts either-Get SVN with Homebrew brew install --universal --java subversion -When this hangs in the middle of installation, cancel with control-c and re-run the preceding step. SnailSVN is a TortoiseSVN-like Apache Subversion (SVN) client for Mac OS X, implemented as a Finder extension. SnailSVN allows you to access the most frequently used SVN features, from the Finder context menu directly.
Install svn (subversion) on Mac OS X Posted on September 9, 2013 September 9, 2013 by hb I wrote an article about a year ago, about svn (Subversion) being missing in Mountain Lion (10.8) and how to install it manually.

Another way to install svn on mac is to use a ditribution package from wandisco. They are available here. Do not use the packages on CollabNet which are outdated.
Unzip the .pkg file and double click on it and follow the instructions to have it installed.
I still like it better with Homebrew since it makes it very easy to upgrade the packages and switch between packages.
To find out the version currently active with Homebrew:
You can check the versions of subversion which are available using:
This will return multiple lines, one per version, each containing a version number and the checkout command e.g.:

Choose the version you want to install e.g. here 1.8.1, switch Homebrew’s prefix,checkout the package and install it:
Then reset the formula:
Email clients come in all shapes and sizes, but when it comes to the options available on the Mac, we feel that Airmail is the best email client for most people. Best Mac email clients of 2018 While Mail for Mac is a great email client for most users, some of us require something a little more feature-rich for our day-to-day life. The Mac’s default Mail application (also referred to as “Mail.app” or “Apple Mail”) has a somewhat checkered past. While Mail.app provides a free, full-featured email client on every Mac that is sold and has pioneered some innovative features over the years. A recent surge of worthy new email clients offers Mac users some of the best choices they’ve ever had for managing their mail. With a panoply of clever features and new ideas, these contenders.

You can then switch between versions using brew switch (which updates the symlink in /usr/local/bin to the specified formula version in the Homebrew cellar) e.g.:
Of course mechanism can be used for any other Homebrew package.
If you get errors in XCode while accessing working copies created with a newer version, you might need to link the newer version into XCode by doing the following:
- Create a backup directory for the svn binaries currently used by XCode
- Moving the current binaries to the backup folder
- Linking the binaries of the new version installed with Homebrew into Xcode (as a replacement for the moved ones)
You can do that by executing the following and replacing 1.7.4 by the actual subversion version you want to use in XCode:
Mac Svn Gui
Note that you can also use Homebrew-versions instead. It provides multiple formulas for different versions of existing packages e.g. subversion1.6 and subversion1.7. If you use it, you will of course not be able to upgrade from 1.7 to 1.8 but only from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3 but it’s maybe what you are after…
You can install from Homebrew-versions using:
You’ll notice that Homebrew-versions only has packages for subversion 1.6 and 1.7. But I guess 1.8 should come soon.

I'm trying to use svn 1.6 with my Xcode projects on lion. The server is a tortoise svn server on windows. I can check out the projects with no problem, but when I go to commit I get the error that
svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file '/Volumes/SVN_Repository/Mobile/db/txn-current-lock': Operation not supported
The repository is fine. When I go to commit something to the same place with my windows client it works great. The windows client is 1.6.11 and the mac client is 1.6.12 I wouldn't think that would be that big of a deal.
Is there a way to make the mac client work nicely with the windows server?
Thanks

- NEVER use file:/// protocol for accessing repo or working copy on shared drive
- Install (any) good SVN-server with authenticated access
- Configure server and use it without headache of lame workflow
TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client. Whilst it does include the svnserve server, you will need to manually configure that. You may want to have a look at uberSVN, which allows you to configure an Apache Subversion webserver so that you can access your repository via http://
