I also really miss TSVN on Linux. TSVN is Windows Explorer Shell
extension. It was made for Windows shell. Porting it anywhere else would
not be possible.
There are supposed to be Nautilus scripts and extensions for SVN, but I have
yet to get any of them to work: I have not given it a lot of effort yet. I
has gotten some of my own Nautilus shell scripts to work, but the
integration is not what I'd hope for, so I stopped (I need to find some CLI
APIs for emblems and inotify for file changes).
The Nautilus extensions example (nautilus-vcs), supposedly integrates CVS.
It should be possible to add SVN support, but I have not had a chance to
look into it.
There's a nice sync application (Dropbox, www.getdropbox.com) that uses
Nautilus emblems in an very excellent manner. It was be nice to see a
Nautilus SVN extension that did the same thing. If I could find some CLI or
Python APIs for emblems, it should not be hard to make something in Python.
I looked into it a while ago, but could not find any documentation on
exactly how to use the emblems. I poked around and discovered a few things,
but got fed up and quit.
