I’ve always used Xcode for checking in my stuff into the SVN repository, but when I started using a remote SVN (Subversion) server over ssh, I quickly found out that it doesn’t work all that well. But I also found the fix. Here’s what you do.
1) From a new Finder window press apple+shift+g and type in .MacOSX
3) Double click on the file called environment.plist
4) In Property List Editor click on New Child
5) Call it SVN_SSH and set the value to “ssh -l username” (without the quotes) replacing username with the username you need for accessing the repository.
6) Logout and then log back in.
7) Checkout your source like normal. For example: svn co svn+ssh://server.tld/repos
And from there on go like you normally would. Open the Xcode project and starting using it’s integrated version control management.
