Hi,
We are evaluating textmate as part of a wider move from PHP to Rails. I have an issue which I hope someone here might be able to help me with...
We have a shared linux development server and we each checkout and edit our files on the server remotely either via samba shares or directly by SSHing in. This is so we can preview the changes in our dev sites as we make them.
This works OK for the windows guys (they use Tortoise svn and map a network drive to get to their files). I am OK as I am comfortable in the terminal and don't mind SSHing over to the dev server to do any subversion stuff, but we have a couple of designers who have a fear of command lines and want to work strictly within textmate. Running any SVN command from textmate fails because the samba share appears like a local directory and all the SVN commands get screwed up. It then locks their copy and we have to clean up the locks.
Is it possible to set up textmate to either tunnel the SVN commands through SSH so they run in the devserver environment as if performed in a dev server shell or switch to using a different network filesystem (SSHFS, maybe?) so that we can edit our files remotely on the development server and use SVN from within TextMate?
We'd even consider moving to another open source version control system to fix this as long as there is good support for Mac, Win and linux...
Many thanks in advance,
Matt.
