Hi rather than piggybacking on my other thread, I wanted to ask another question, namely which version control system to take for collaborative writing projects. I am basically starting afresh, so there is no code-base already in a certain repository format to be taken into account, and I am planning to use it for (collaborative) writing of text, mostly MultiMarkdown and maybe Latex if I get the hang of it. Most people advocating Subversion emphasize that it is widely used and rather easy to learn. As I am not planning to maintain source code in it anyway, these points may not be very important. It seems to me, the alternatives (Bazaar, Git, Mercurial to name a few I have read about) have matured quite a bit and I would not want to learn a specific system only to find out that previous users are migrating away from it for good reasons (that I may not see right now). So: if the requirements were: 1) up-to-date versioning 2) easy install 3) idiot friendly 4) collaboration friendly (merging of textfiles having been altered by several authors independently should be doable; see point 3 above) 5) offline work happens (branching and merging) 6) perhaps OS-independent (in case I can convince those other co-authors) 7) existence of a bundle providing integration into Textmate would be a huge plus (but consider that I may be satisfied with a very limited subset of what every versioning system offers already) 8) not sure if applicable: if a visualization tool such as Changes.app for diffing said textfiles be callable to compare versions that would be great, too. My experience with Filemerge et al, is limited because it does not seem to like UTF-8 very much (which I require). what would you choose? Thanks Christoph

PracTex journal tips, revision control and academic workflow

by Christoph Held

Hello all, perhaps this is a bit off-topic so please bear with me. Some regulars on this forum were instrumental in developing these thougths though which is what encouraed me to post here. I am a researcher doing some of my writing in Multimarkdown text files and put my work on a portable harddrive which I carry home after work, synchronize to my home computer and carry on working there. Ditto for the reverse. After reading a series of inspiring articles about how to use subversion repositories for academic writers over on Practex journal I am beginning to think that I could make better use of my resources. Here is what I plan to do: Go to work, read, write, take notes etc. Some of this takes place in textfiles, some will reside XML files (Tinderbox), and some also in binary files at the end of the day. I have access to a server that I would like to push all my changes and new data to and then go home. From home, I would like to pull all changes to my home computer and carry on. 1) Will the version control systems compare whole lines or do some kind of document comparison trying to find identical blocks regardless of (soft) line breaks? 2) what I don't know is how well this system will work for binary files, e.g. Aperture libraries, Word files from colleagues etc. Ideally, I'd like to just send the changed bits of files, not all files that have changed to save bandwith and time. If something went wrong I would want to go back in time. I am working on a localized system (meaning non-US) in case that is presenting a problem. I am not afraid of the command line but I have no experience with version control whatsoever because I was left with the impression that it was of little use outside source code development. Although I do some reading about subversion, git, mercurial, bazaar etc I need some guidance if I am barking up the right tree in the first place. I would greatly appreaciate your thoughts Prion

ExpanDrive for remote projects over SSH: snappy (at last)

by Jonathan Ragan-Kelley

Hello all, As a long-time TextMate user I'm well aware of the issues working with projects on remote filesystems -- I have been doing it day in and day out for just over three years now, using different combinations of tools. Like many of you, I've used Transmit for quick single-file edits and MacFusion/sshfs for heavier remote work for the past year or more, and they work well enough to be productive, but with well-known frustrations (latency, connection resilience). Lately I'm using ExpanDrive (http://www.magnetk.com/expandrive), which just launched officially. Same transport (SSH/SFTP), but with very aggressive caching and intelligent connection management under the hood. Together, they make it *way* snappier than sshfs on even high-latency links, and allow your mounts to stay live on finicky or intermittent connections, even as you sleep your laptop one place and wake it hours later on an entirely different network. It's a from-scratch new filesystem, not just a GUI for sshfs (though it does use the MacFUSE core), so its performance and stability are quite unlike what you may be used to. Of particular note (and this was a goal in development), the caching works well enough to largely eliminate the TextMate project focus lag problems we're all so familiar with by now, even over long-distance connections. (Full disclosure: I am tangentially connected with this project.) I think some of you will quite like it. -jrk

"Find" doesn't work when searching Java API docs

by Armon Dadgar

Does anyone else experience problems when searching the java api? Here is an example of what happens: 1. Press Control-H to open API 2. Apple-F to open find window 3. Type "String" 4. Goes to "AttributedString" in the side panel 5. Pressing the next button or Apple-G does nothing. I have tried the Regular Expressions option, Ignore Case, and Wrap Around. None of them seem to work. Very frustrating to need to continuously scroll down. Anyone have a solution, or experience the same thing?

TM tokenizer is taking 100% CPU for long while using 100-200KB text files with single line

by Adam Strzelecki

Hello, I've sent a mail to Allan regarding the problem, but I want to share also this problem with all of you subscribed to the TM list. Maybe you have also encountered this? I'm working with few auto-generated FO (XML) files that have no line- breaks. You can reproduce such dummy file with: $ cd /tmp $ perl -e '{print "<html></html>" x 20000}' > test.html $ mate test.html As you see TM gonna take 100% CPU for a really long-long while until you get syntax highlight. Also any modification (line-break) causes TM to take again 100% CPU for a while. I'm aware it is rare case to work with such files, but is there any remedy for this problem? I have soft-wrap turned on, also using System Monitor I can see that it is tokenizer thread that is taking the whole CPU. Regards, -- Adam Strzelecki |: nanoant.com :|

User authentication when pushing in Mercurial bundle

by S. Moon

While switching from the terminal version of Mercurial to the Mercurial bundle, I have found out that it doesn't seem to support user authentication. While many repos do not use authentication, the one I am working on uses authentication when pushing to the central repo. Am I missing something, or is it simply something that isn't supported? Your very best, Sangwhan

Find not responding the mouse

by Steve Kickert

I am hoping that this has been reported a work around available... We often have the Textmate 'Find in Project' results become unresponsive to mouse clicks. The only way to fix it is to restart Textmate. This also occurs occasionally with the 'Go to Symbol' window as well. Has anyone else had this happen. We have it on three different machines. -- Steve Kickert CEO Riverock Technologies www.riverocktech.com 952-232-5280 (direct) 612-965-1909 (mobile)

Re: [TxMt] Blogging Bundle Timeout::Error in Leopard

by Tony Pelaez

I finally figured out what was giving me the timeout error in Leopard, when trying to do anything with the blogging bundle. It was an issue related to my router (an actiontec GT704WG supplied by Verizon) that only had problems with Leopard and not 10.4. Here is the solution (I stumbled upon this when trying to troubleshoot an issue connecting with adium as well): 1. Visit the router's configuration page and make note of the DNS server IP's (there should be 2 or three of them). Each router will be different on how you need to access the info, so use google if you don't know. 2. Open network preferences, click on the connection you are using and select advanced. 3. Click on the DNS tab and add the DNS entries that you got from your router. (Your router's IP should already be listed there.) 4. You should now be able to connect. http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?t=16614&highlight=visit+routers+… Once I followed those steps the problem was solved. What a relief! I look forward to using the blogging bundle now! Thanks again for all your help.

how to output like RubyMate?

by Matt Neuburg

I've got a Ruby script here, and I'd like its output to act like RubyMate's output - it should appear progressively as I call "puts" or "p" or whatever. In fact, I'd like the output to piggyback on whatever RubyMate is doing. But the script is not being run under RubyMate because it's part of a small bundle I've written myself and the place we're starting is a .txt file anyway (in other words, I've written a bundle that processes .txt files using a Ruby script). I'm betting there is some easy way to tell the bundle command that calls this Ruby script to output like RubyMate. What would that be?
