SnailSVN – SVN for Finder

SnailSVN is a TortoiseSVN-like Apache Subversion (SVN) client, implemented as a Finder extension. SnailSVN allows you to access the most frequently used SVN features, from the Finder context menu directly. SnailSVN also adds icon overlays to your SVN working copies in Finder. It tracks your SVN working copies and updates the icon overlays automatically, giving you visual feedback of the current state of your working copies. In a few steps, you can start using SnailSVN easily: 1. Enable "SnailSVN Extension" in "System Preferences » Extensions". 2. Checkout a SVN working copy with SnailSVN (File » SVN Checkout...) or add an existing SVN working copy to SnailSVN (SnailSVN Preferences » Working Copies). 3. Navigate to your working copy in Finder and right click to access the SnailSVN functionalities. * FAQ Q: There is no icon overlays / context menu for the files? A: Please make sure that you've enabled "SnailSVN Extension" in "System Preferences » Extensions", and also make sure that you've added the working copy to SnailSVN Preferences. If your SVN working copy is monitored by multiple Finder extensions, please make sure that SnailSVN Extension comes first in "System Preferences » Extensions » Finder", you can drag and drop the extensions to adjust the order. If the problem persists, please disable "SnailSVN Extension" in "System Preferences » Extensions" and then enable it again. The last resort is to relaunch Finder or restart your computer.
