Just started looking seriously at the subversion bundle last night, and have a couple of questions.

One, is there a way to do a commit of the entire project folder without first selecting all files in the project window?

Second, how hard is it to add the svn delete and move commands to the menu? That's about the only commands I saw that really were missing. I'm helping someone get up to speed with version control, and he prefers to stay in the editor for as much as possible.

Thanks, Ken Scott

So, in the process of writing the screenwriting bundle I'm working (and using every day) I've come to the conclusion that it might be cool to look into subversion for working with screenwriting projects.

Obviously I know nothing about subversion, so my question is:

Is this stupid? Do you guys have any good resources for getting started with subversion? Is there a better solution (since I'm just using text-documents)? I can't seem to find a really good intro on how to use TextMate with Subversion, did I miss it somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

I would recommend setting up a hosted webdav svn server somewhere. That way you will have access to your stuff from any computer and easily give other people access and track what they do.

I host all my stuff with dreamhost. They have a subversion server creation thing. I have like 7 or so svn repos running on there now. It literally takes about 30 seconds to fill out their little form and then it takes their robot about 10 minutes to create everything and email you.

I'm sure other hosts probly have something similar.

There's a svn command that lets you backup the entire repo will all changes and everything. I would recommend backing everything up occasionally, because you never know.

Awesome bundle, BTW.

PS: No, I don't work for dreamhost. But I have been hosting with then for more than 9 years.

The project in use doesn't have a top-level folder in the project pane. The files were just dragged in (he didn't see the point of having the folder-it just indented the file names).

Without the top-level folder, is there a way to get the same behavior?

Ken,

For your first question,

1. Make sure you have at least 1 file open
2. Click the folder in the project pane
3. hit the shortcut to bring up the svn bundle.

This only works if you checked out the svn bundle from the svn server. afaik, the version in textmate by default won't work like that

Regards,

Eric Coleman

Delete should be as simple as duplicating the Add command and replacing "add" with "delete" (or "rm"). Within the confines of TM, you'd also really be obliged to add a warning dialog, to make sure that's what the user really intended, because "svn rm" deletes the file from the working copy immediately. On the command line, you can get it back using "svn revert", but within TM, the document would be gone, so there's nothing to execute a command on.

Moves (and copies) are a bit more work, because you need user interface to set the destination. A simple implementation would be to write some AppleScript to get a local destination folder within your Subversion workspace. A complete implementation would allow you to move to anywhere within the repository.
