I just tried this and it worked like a charm. The resulting BibDesk.app differs 
by now including Contents/Library/QuickLook/BibDesk.qlgenerator, but I read 
that this is deprecated anyway 
(https://eclecticlight.co/2024/10/31/how-sequoia-has-changed-quicklook-and-its-thumbnails/)?

It would be nice if bibdesk posted with each release a source tarball just like 
this.

That’s an even nicer idea, but alas, apple’s developer tools don’t seem to 
include the necessary git-svn:

$ git svn clone -r HEAD https://svn.code.sf.net/p/bibdesk/svn/trunk bibdesk-svn
git: 'svn' is not a git command. See 'git --help’.

The most similar commands are
        fsck
        mv
        show
$ locate git | grep svn
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/share/man/man1/git-svn.1
$ ls -l /usr/bin/git*
-rwxr-xr-x  78 root  wheel  118864 Apr 30 10:12 /usr/bin/git
-rwxr-xr-x  78 root  wheel  118864 Apr 30 10:12 /usr/bin/git-receive-pack
-rwxr-xr-x  78 root  wheel  118864 Apr 30 10:12 /usr/bin/git-shell
-rwxr-xr-x  78 root  wheel  118864 Apr 30 10:12 /usr/bin/git-upload-archive
-rwxr-xr-x  78 root  wheel  118864 Apr 30 10:12 /usr/bin/git-upload-pack

Thanks again for your great work with an app I couldn’t live without.

Francois
