Subversion SVN, OSX and Finder Integration: SmartSVN (Finally, a Tortoise equivalent)

I’ve spent the last few months looking for a suitable subversion client that integrates with the Mac OSX finder. Mainly, I have been looking the closest equivalent to Tortoise SVN for OSX. Scplugin is a good choice, but it is very limited in featured and does not work with Snow Leopard.

SmartSVN Plugin is definitely worth checking out. Click here.

SmartSVN Finder Integration

P12 Private SSL Certificate Support

My biggest grief with SCPlugin (and pretty much every other SVN client for OSX) is it’s lack of support for P12 open client certificate files for SSH connections. As you may have already guessed, SmartSVN supports P12 files.

OSX Dock Notifications

Definitely an added bonus, the OSX dock notifications are very cool.

Worth Every Penny

No, SmartSVN is not open source. But $39 isn’t a lot to pay for a product so incredibly useful. There is also a 31 day demo available at http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/index.html
