It is one of those places where you really don’t add a ton of value by controlling the platform, and both systems have some really nice integrations, and since my BeanStalk client is big into Campfire and ZenDesk it does really tie together their world.

Git is still new to me and I’m only using it on the one project right now – though I have already seen the value in being able to quickly branch and also being able to commit locally (when on flights etc) really helps you make sure the commit messages are meaningful. I’m hoping to see a lot more of git in the next couple of months since I’m going to try and move all the new projects that way. Though if you are still happy on Subversion then BeanStalk is definitely worth a look.

]]> In the past few days I started using the new Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) release, I had been working happily away using the command line subversion but I decided to give the Subversion integration a go. i have to admit I was totally confused by the deployment, Subversion support is meant to be part of the product but you have to download the Subversion Connectors from Polarion.  After trying several times to install the missing bits and not being able to get the projects to appear with any subversion support I ended up installing the Subversion 1.5 binaries for Mac (available here from Collab.net).  Then updating my ~/.bash_profile with the following lines:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/subversion/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then I downloaded a fresh Ganymede installation and using the new Software Updates I added the Subclipse update site (http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x) and installed that. Finally I was able to see the subversion information in Eclipse.

So while just trying to get subversion support I lost a few hours and also ended up upgrading to Subversion 1.5 just to get it in place. Given the out-of-the-box experience I have to admit I was frustrated, I realize that Subversive is a incubator project but I would have through getting it to work on a mac would have been much easier. Maybe someone can provide a guide so I understand what I did wrong – in the meantime its back to Subclipse (and wondering what problems I’ll find).
