[TxMt] Re: newbie subversion question

[Lucy Buykx]

Thanks for your notes Rob.

I have managed to get a working copy created and checked out. At least I 
think so. Using the TextMate Subversion bundle I tried to commit some 
file changes. No matter how I changed the files it always comes back 
with "nothing to commit, no modifications made".

Have been back and fine toothcombed the documentation on the TextMate 
website and come up with nothing more than "shift cmd A gets subversion 
menu up". Mind you the documentaiton for TextMate as a whole seems very 
thin to me so perhaps this is not unusual. Not your fault I know but I 
don't feel inclined to pay £50 for a software tool that isn't even 
documented.

Does anyone use the subversion bundle in TextMate to commit/checkout etc 
and can they point me to documentation that explains how to set it up 
and use it? Or do you all use TextMate for editing and handle Subversion 
stuff outside either command line or Versions or similar?

thanks
