Subversion Help – Books, Plugins, and Hosting
Eclipse, Java, Mac OS X, Subversion June 13th, 2007
Subversion is the defacto open source source version control system these days and a great improvement over cvs. It’s also a steal at the ripe price of free.
Great (and also free) documentation is available here: Version Control with Subversion.
You can also buy the hardcopy from Amazon.
To use any subversion repository you will need to install the client. For OS X, I wouldn’t recommend using Fink but rather downloading a pre-compiled binary, they are more up to date. Binaries for OS X are available here: http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/subversion/
For eclipse, there’s a handy plugin called Subclipse.
For small projects or distributed development teams not looking to manage their own subversion server: unfuddle.com has a great hosted solution and an integrated milestone and ticketing system.

The Metissian packages are no longer maintained. The current Subversion version is now 1.4.4. Fortunately, CollabNet recently started providing a package for OSX. See:
