Perform Subversion operations from the Scripts menu Apps
If you frequently switch from Finder to Terminal just to invoke simple Subversion commands, you should try the free Subversion Scripts for Mac OS X Finder. This project makes the most common operations accessible directly from the menu bar's Scripts menu.

Or, even better, SCPlugin.

No thanks to SCPlugin.

If any file in a directory is under source control, a very ugly badge is added to every icon, including those for files and folders that are excluded from source control. Since I have my home and documents directories under source control, this is too much visual noise for me.

I'd rather open the Terminal occassionally.

I'm not sure what is the status of SCPlugin right now, but last time I tried it was very unstable and most of the time just didn't work at all. This is the reason why I decided to create the collection of scripts mentioned in this hint. Of course I encourage you to try both and choose the one you like more.

Regards,
Adam

The most recent version of SCPlugin has been a lot more stable for me that previous versions were. If you haven't tried it in over a few months, it might be worth a second look. Still, it's got a ways to go to catch up with TortoiseSVN--the basic commands work, but a lot of features are yet to be implemented. I've been using a mix of SCPlugin, TextMate for code, and command line svn. I'll have to try out these scripts with Quicksilver too...it's (usually) good to have options. Thanks for the scripts, Adam.

QuickSilver tip
Authored by: adambyrtek on May 22, '07 11:49:51AM

Just a small tip for QuickSilver fans who would like to use Subversion Scripts mentioned in this hint.

QuickSilver automatically includes in its catalog all scripts from the ~/Library/Scripts/ subdirectory. So if you already have selected some files and/or directories in Finder and would like to invoke Subversion Scripts on those, you can either use mouse and Script Menu (in menu bar) or use keyboard to run the appropriate script with QuickSilver.

Of course QuickSilver's magic search works as usual, for example type only "svup" for "SVN Update". As you can see "Run" is the default action for scripts.

Regards,
Adam

PS. Note that there is also Subversion Module for QuickSilver, but this is a completely different thing.
