Comments on: SVN Smackdown! Cornerstone v. Versions

I originally bought versions under the impression there would be merging and branching. I loved the original but as time dragged on (what seems like 2 years) all the asked for features never happened. Meanwhile along comes Cornerstone giving me what I wanted all along. So I feel like I paid twice for the same app… wish I had never bought versions now and pretty much (after many attempts to try otherwise) consider it DEAD.

Versions is over, late to a game it was early to, put a bullet in it and call it quits so I don’t have to read another cornerstone vs. versions smackdown.

Thanks…

I have been unable to access our secure repositories with Cornerstone, which requires specifying the location of a certificate file. It works with SmartSVN. I sent an email to Cornerstone and I have yet to get a reply. SmartSVN is not as pretty but it gets the job done. Until Cornerstone does (like most Mac people, I would prefer a pretty UI), I will stick with SmartSVN.

Cornerstone had what I consider a fatal flaw; I could not find a way to smoothly select ALMOST all of files in the entire tree that I wanted to commit, with the ability to opt out of just a few. More to the point, Cornerstone should not roadblock the process of committing lots of files simply because there is ONE conflict somewhere. It should roadblock you at the very end, and let you opt out of only those files that are conflicted. Quite unacceptable. My trial is over, but I’d really like to make the devs aware of this shortcomng.

For a really nice difference tool, try TextWrangler (free from Barebones). It does a very nice job and it’s a pretty decent text editor to boot.

Hey, thanks for the pointer David. I’ll definitely be giving that a try next time the occasion arises!

Re: Your comments on a standalone difference tool.

Changes – http://changesapp.com/ – has recently been updated. You can configure Cornerstone to use it and it also integrates with Coda’s built-in SVN support, allowing a quick version diff against the SVN history.

As a difference app, it at least has the advantage over FileMerge of having a two-pane display, but it does feel like a Version 1 application in a way that, say, Cornerstone or Coda do not. It supports text differences and the Coda plug-in does not seem to allow comparison between the working copy and latest from repository.
