RapidSVN0.12.1 Revision 8257

RapidSVN is a cross-platform GUI for the Subversion revision system written in C++ with the aid of the wxWidgets framework. It comes with support for a Subversion client C++ API and helps you quickly browse an existing repository via bookmarks.

User-friendly looks and portability benefits

You are welcomed by a clean layout that reveals a well-structured suite of features and configuration parameters. There’s support for a help manual that offers information about the program’s functions. Since it's portable, you may copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices and run directly on the target computer.

Bookmarks and editing features

RapidSVN implements a server (repository) and client (working copy) which can be bookmarked so you can easily gain access to them. As soon as you bookmark a repository, you are allowed to browse throughout all the files on the server.The utility gives you the possibility to edit a file (via Checkout) and ‘checkin’ the changes (via Commit), undo a local edit, add items and directories, insert your project directory, checkout a working copy of an existing repository, and view an existing Subversion sandbox with RapidSVN.

Reviewing and merging options

RapidSVN helps you review your changes by updating your work and copying, branching, tagging, moving or renaming files. When it comes to merging, you may combine the contents of one branch with another one or mix one branch with your trunk version.

Deleting and exporting data

You can remove files from both SVN and local hard drive (but you cannot delete modified files with changes that haven’t been applied to the repository), export data by creating a local copy of the repository without the SVN directories, as well as create a new repository only with the command ‘svnadmin.’

An efficient multi-platform GUI for the Subversion revision system

All in all, RapidSVN comes with a handy suite of features and delivers an intuitive interface for helping you browse an existing repository with aid of bookmarks.The user-friendly layout makes it suitable for first-time SVN users while the robust functions can be enjoyed even by professionals. Some SVN tools like TortoiseSVN and Subcommander implement built-in Diff tools, but with RapidSVN you need to provide your own Diff program.
