[email] [print]  MoleSVN - Graphical Subversion for BeOS

Jul 24, 2005 15:55 UTC, by Kian Duffy, Senior Journalist.
From the getting-away-from-the-cli department...

While roaming around BeBits, I noticed that MoleSVN has had its 0.2 release. MoleSVN is a graphical SVN frontend, in the vein of TortoiseSVN/TortoiseCVS on Windows; and is implemented very much in the "BeOS Way" - by Tracker addons. It is a frontend, and not a full client however - svn 1.1.3

While I can't get an SVN connection out from here at the moment (firewalled), MoleSVN appears to integrate cleanly with the OS, letting you use Tracker as the interface to a Subversion repository. On an OS where the command line is by far the secondary interface, being able to move from the CLI to GUI integration is always a plus.

MoleSVN is an opensource project, and its homepage is on Sourceforge, a site which ironically only provides CVS access. Interestingly, the project uses the Clue tracing tool for debugging support, a project which has been donated to BeUnited by its authors.
