Is there a good extension for working with SVN in Emacs?

I tried psvn.el , but the command to delimit the file you are currently looking at is just disgusting: Mx svn-file-show-svn-diff , I tried to install vc-svn.el but could not get this to work on my version of Emacs : GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) from 2004-03-10 by NYAUMO. I tried to put a copy of vc-snv.el in the directory of my site - lisp, but when I try to run the command "Mx vc-diff", it says that my file is "not versioned".

The emacs wiki page, which mainly focuses on vc-svn.el, seems to be terribly outdated, as many links do not work.

You can take a look at dsvn - psvn influenced it. However, it can work more efficiently with large repositories containing many files and subdirectories. As a side note - you should consider upgrading to Emacs 23 - it has many cool new features, and most of the new modes are not tested for older versions of Emacs, such as 21, so you may run into unexpected problems.

Your emacs is six years old! Consider updating.

Out of the box, Emacs supports a number of different version control systems , including SVN. If you use VC Directory Mode , you get the option to choose which files to include in each commit (but you don't get the per-hunk choice that you get with Magit and git). There is more information on how to integrate with change logs and reuse a ChangeLog record as a VC commit message (or vice versa).

Recent versions of Emacs support SVN support. My Emacs 23, for example. supports SVN out of the box.
