SVN usage for Wine

[James McKenzie]

Because git is unstable on the Mac platform, I've been utilizing a 
little time investigating the use of either SVN or CVS to download .git 
updates.  This appears to not be working per the Wiki pages for SVN.

Is CVS or SVN still being supported for Wine or is git the only 
supported download (I don't expect to do any patching for now) method 
for .git updates?

Thank you.

I've been using git releases on my Mac for the last year or so (and I'm 
currently using 1.5.3.8) and I haven't noticed any instability.

Ron:

Where are you getting your git code from and does it require any patches 
to make it compile and run on MacOSX 10.4?

Reply off list if you feel that this is necessary.

Rob probably installed his Git from Fink.
I've installed mine using MacPorts. Here's the recipe in case you're 
interested:

---
MacPorts needs Xcode because it installs applications from the source. 
So make sure Xcode is installed first. Because it compiles applications 
from source it can take a bit.

Then grab the Mac OS X Package Installer from 
http://www.macports.org/install.php and follow the installation 
instructions on that page.

Once that's done you can install git with the following command:

$ sudo port -v install git-core

Because Git uses Ssh, MacPorts also installed its own Ssh version which 
unfortunately was buggy. If this happens to you, delete (or rename) scp, 
slogin and ssh in /opt/local/bin.

The part about ssh may be why you had stability problems with Git. As 
far as I can tell my workaround works just fine.
