Re: Using TortoiseSVN on a Windows VM on a Mac

I was just looking for ways to use a GUI for Subversion. These days, I
mostly use the Mac, though I used TSVN on Windows for a good while
prior. SVN clients for the Mac tend to be lacking, though there are a
couple of nice, new ones. They cost more than I'd preferred to pay,
though. Much of the work that I do that gets version control is done
on the Windows VM, though the working files are on the Mac host. So I
have considered using TSVN here and there, but haven't because of
cross-platform concerns.
