SmartCVS

Dedicated to experienced users, SmartCVS is an advanced CSV client that features many powerful options and configuration parameters, enabling you to explore, compare and merge files.

It's wrapped in a clear-cut and professional-looking interface that contains many buttons and menus. A new project can be created from a CSV-controlled directory structure.

You can examine many properties for each containing file, such as local and remote state, revision, sticky status, editors, time, size, relative directory, and author, as well as filter the files. They can be compared, removed from the repository or local disk, ignored or reverted, while new ones can be added.

It's possible to compare files and attach annotations or tags, view log details for a specific file, create branches, visually resolve conflicts after updating or merging files, as well as copy selected information to the Clipboard and customize the columns to display.

You can also enable file watching, lock files for reserved checkouts, review all changes made to a file along with recent transactions, compare repository files by two tags, make files read-only or writeable, create and export backups, or generate SSH key pairs.

The software application worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or display error dialogs. It had a good response time to commands and minimal impact on computer performance, thanks to the fact that it required low CPU and memory to work properly.

SmartCVS comes loaded with some advanced and resourceful options for manipulating files in a CSV-controlled environment, and it should meet the requirements of most users. Plus, it's free.
