Subversion as a Finder context Menu (CVS, too)

Chris Pavicich has put together a very cool little Finder CMM (contextual menu) that adds Subversion and CVS support to the context menus popped up within the Finder. It is open source and available for checkout/browsing. A prebuilt binary is also available.

Installation Notes.

I have had a look at the code and there is some neat stuff going on (beyond that it “just works). In particular, Chris is using both Objective-C and Cocoa within a Finder plugin. I didn’t know that was possible, but am ultimately not surprised given the work that was put into Cocoa/Carbon interoperability.

Still needs a bit of refinement, but is already quite useful. I will certainly be tracking the devleopment of this and will keep a fresh copy built in ~/Library/Contextual Menu Items!
