Cornerstone is a Mac OS X SVN client. I can tell you that this app is awesome!
The interface takes a number of UI cues from iTunes by using one window. The one window interface is much more efficient on a laptop. You do have the option in preferences to switch to a multi window mode.
Some of the features I really dig:
- Can create a new repo from the interface.
- Can drag existing working copies into a list in Cornerstone.
- The status of every file and folder is easily visible from the file browser.
- The file browser works very similarly to Finder. yeah!!!
- I can drag folders in to import files into a repo. I can drag files out to export.
- The inspector allows immediate access and the ability to edit SVN properties.
- Quick filters allowing easy viewing of what has changed today, this week, etc.
I feel like I learn something new about this app everyday. I can't wait to see what Zennaware does next to enhance this Mac gem!

Thanks! I did check that out. Very good. I am still digging Cornerstone over Versions right now, but I love that there are two competing apps. Both will improve!
I just updated and expanded

I just updated and expanded that comparison for Cornerstone 1.1 and Versions beta 9. I've now switched my choice to Cornerstone.
cheers,
