One is probably my fault, the other is the way it works. I would have given it 5 stars but for two issues. I like the integration with the Finder, it makes it very easy to see status of files (up to date, changed, not added yet), and run Commits and Updates. It is slow, but I expected that, especially given the size of our repos (lots of small config files). So far I have been very happy with SnailSVN. I had used TortiseSVN under Windows years ago and it worked fine for what we needed. I had been looking for an alternative for a while and came across SnailSVN. I had been using Cornerstone to check in and manage system config files with our SVN repos.

Navigate to your working copy in Finder and right click to access the SnailSVN functionalities.

Writing to the developers but never got a reply Committing often generates spurious errors, forcing you to try again Contextual menus will show up for a while, and then not show up App simply does not work like it should Couldn't even access logs, it wouldn't save my passwords, it's a pain Paid verison makes you use multiple projects, but it's extremely buggy Haven’t had any issues that weren’t user related and the app works well

I bought SnailSVN over a week ago and use it to manage a 500 MB site

Developer was really responsive to issues I had with an earlier version
