Sorry I do not agree - and I feel you guys are wasting  your own energy in 
what others might consider to be constipated proscriptive dialogues. Choosing 
to make badly judges nit-picking grouches instead offering positive 
contributions is IMHO a grossly discourteous pastime.

You are also way off target as the topic is not at all tangental. Aptana is a 
dedicated Ruby and Ruby on Rails development tool-- and being able to use 
Aptana with a subversion server is solely of interest to Ruby and Ruby on 
Rails developers. 

If you are not now willing to acknowledge that then I cannot remedy an 
ignorance that flies in the face of the facts.

I have now solved  the problem - if other Ruby programmers want to know how to 
use Aptana for Ruby programming so they can check in and out of a subversion 
server within the Aptana Ruby solution they can email me directly.
