Tags: svn version-control workspace transactional development

Install: brew install savana

About:
Savana creates isolated, transactional workspaces for Subversion (SVN) repositories, enabling developers to perform atomic operations without affecting the main repository. It provides a lightweight, fast environment for testing complex branching strategies and refactoring operations. This tool is particularly valuable for teams needing to validate changes before committing them to the central SVN server.

Key Features:

Isolated transactional workspaces for SVN
Atomic commit operations
Lightweight and fast environment
Supports complex branching strategies
Safe testing of repository changes

Use Cases:

Testing complex repository refactoring before committing
Validating branching and merging strategies
Creating temporary workspaces for experimental development
Automated testing of SVN operations

Alternatives:

git – Modern distributed VCS with native branching, but requires migration from SVN
svn-copy – Built-in SVN branching, but less isolated than Savana workspaces
