Hello, I am one of the developers of SCPlugin, the integration project of Subversion in the Mac OS X Finder. One of the problems we have been struggling with is to get the proper icon badging in the Finder windows. The background daemon we use adds the icon overlays through a mach_override primitive, which I personally don't find the most clean solution.
While looking around for solutions, I bumped into the MacFUSE project. Eventually, I came up with a proposal to resolve the current icon badging solution (with its set of problems) with a solution based on MacFUSE. The core idea is that all files under Subversion control would be accessed through "SubversionFS", a fuse file system that can display the proper icons based on the file/folder state (unmodified, modified, new file, ...). The SubversionFS would be a simple wrapper around local files. My main question to you guys is this: do you see any issues in my proposal that makes it useless from a MacFUSE viewpoint? Are there any shortcomings to (Mac)FUSE that prevent me of implementing this? The message I sent to the SCPlugin user mailing list to request feedback on this proposal: http://scplugin.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=423 The complete proposal is on my website: http://www.celaeno.be/scplugin/index.html Comments?
