Hi everybody, Is there a gem or something for working directly with Subversion from a RoR app? Thanks, Tiffani A.B. ---

Subversion has Ruby bindings but they are poorly documented. I asked about this on ruby-talk just the other day, here is the reply I got: * * * Subject: Re: Subversion binding docs Date: Wednesday 26 July 2006 16:18 From: “Chris R.” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) To: “ruby-talk ML” [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Depends how familiar you already are, but there are install notes[1] and sample code[2] (tests) in the subversion repository itself. You might also want to check collaboa[3] which uses these bindings (I think) to provide a trac like interface in rails.

Yeah, I finally found these the other day after having to reinstall Subversion! :\ They are rather shabbily documented, so I figured I’d spend some time writing up how to use them. Thanks!
