Go to a terminal window, and type in "svn --version". If you have Subversion installed (which is installed on all Macs since 10.5), you should see Subversion return Subversion's revision number to you. It's probably 1.5.x. If you want a GUI Subversion client for the Mac, try Path Finder which is like Finder on Steroids. You can get that from http://cocoatech.com. Path Finder includes a lot of features that aren't in Finder, but most power users want. And, one of the features it has is built in Subversion integration. I also believe that XCode is integrated with Subversion too. You should also look at http://svnbook.com which is the Subversion on line manual. Many open source projects have horrendous documentation, but Subversion isn't one of them. The very first chapter will give you an excellent overview on how Subversion works. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
