Hi - its not actually TortoiseSVN-style subversion support, although, i
guess, that could be possible. It's intended as a more background system
of versioning directories, without the user aware of all the
implementation details (ie .svn/CVS/{arch} folders). You can read more
about it here: http://triplehelix.org/~matt/rcs-mockups.html
I should be finished by september 1st (its a summer of code project),
but, at the moment, nothing works. I should have a working (read-only)
svn gnome-vfs method by sometime this week (wednesday, maybe?).--Matt On Mon, 2005-07-25 at 03:06 +0200, Buttchereit, Axel (XL) wrote: > Hello group, > > browsing the GNOME CVS repository I found that someone (Matt Jones) > is working on a "subversion" or rather general "revision control" > interface for nautilus. > > I would LOVE to use a frontend like TortoiseSVN (Windows-only) > on my linux/gnome desktop. > > Does someone know when this feature will be released? > > Cheers, > Axel > > > > * From: Chris Campbell <chris rockpaper ca> > > * To: nautilus-list gnome org > > * Subject: Nautilus-SVN > > * Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2003 19:58:12 -0700 > > > > Hi All, > > > > I had the idea to write a Nautilus component more or less mirroring what > > the TortoiseSVN (and ToroiseCVS) do for Windows Explorer. > > > > In case you're not familiar with these open source projects, here are > > the relevant links: > > > > TortoiseSVN - http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ > > > > TortoiseCVS - http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ > > > > They are "shell extensions" for Windows Explorer that provide some > > version control capabilities -- such as the ability to add and remove > > files from version control, to update and commit changes, etc. -- using > > Subversion and CVS, respectively, for the version control. > > > > What I envision is basically an extension to the functionality provided > > by the FMListView component.
