Versions and Deltawalker

Subversion is a great base code repo system but I've been needing a decent client and diffing combo on OS X (Snow Leopard) for a while now.  Finally I have a good setup using Versions for the client and Deltawalker for the diffing tool.

Versions allows you to have multi repo connections and displays your source status via it's timeline, browse, and transcript views.  Browse-Changed is what I look at mostly and use this to visually check my changes prior to checking in.

If a diff is required to refresh me on what has changed I simple use Compare Differences on the right click (if you have this enabled on your mac mouse) and view the comparison with Deltawalker.  I'm hoping Deltawalker is a good Mac alternative to Beyond Compare which is my all time favourite dev tool... I let you know how well Delta compares as I use it.
