RabbitVCS – Easy version control for Linux

Sponsored Link
RabbitVCS is a set of graphical tools  written to provide simple and straightforward access to the version control systems you use. Currently, it is integrated into the Nautilus file manager and only supports Subversion, but our goal is to incorporate other version control systems as well as other file managers.
RabbitVCS is inspired by TortoiseSVN and others.

    recommended, better than using one plugin for each combination of IDE/VCS you need.
    the support for SVN and now Git, along with their goal of supporting others (CVS, Hg…) creates a great potential in Rabbit.
    I hope they actually reach it 🙂

    This is welcome development.
    I hope that it becomes an api and software layer between ide’s/(what the heck) programs and version control systems.
    This way the CVS maintainers only have to test against the api while the applications only have to test also against that api(+specific CVS systems they support of course).
    Also because it’s managed by one software that knows what going on at the file system level, it allows to detect conflicts, moving files etc.
    It makes more sense and will allow for more advanced stuff I think.

    Once fully developed a software neutral API (with some stuff to ask names, versions and other things of the managing software) could be a freeDesktop specification

    I tried (re)locating a repository to a windows share site. rabbitvcs does not seem to recognize smb shares?

    Is this so? Thanks

    Hi

    I get:

    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
    Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~rabbitvcs/+archive/ppa: couldn’t connect to host

    How would I fix that please?

    Fixed my own problem by using:

    sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa

    (we are behind a proxy).
