Both are very similar but Subversive is the “eclipse svn provider”. I primarily use Subversive because of a few convenient features: Grouping of history When I’m browsing the history of a branch instead of just seeing a bunch of rows for every commit it can group commits by today, week, etc. Mapping of trunk, branches, … Read more

For full path names of changed files: git log –name-only For full path names and status of changed files: git log –name-status For abbreviated pathnames and a diffstat of changed files: git log –stat There are a lot more options. Check out the documentation.
Hmm, not sure I agree with Nick re tag being similar to a branch. A tag is just a marker Trunk would be the main body of development, originating from the start of the project until the present. Branch will be a copy of code derived from a certain point in the trunk that is … Read more
Create a users file (i.e. users.txt) for mapping SVN users to Git: user1 = First Last Name <email@address.com> user2 = First Last Name <email@address.com> … You can use this one-liner to build a template from your existing SVN repository: svn log -q | awk -F ‘|’ ‘/^r/ {gsub(/ /, “”, $2); sub(” $”, “”, $2); … Read more
