Research for a Subversion plugin that works in windows and Linux.
dmoore:
I played around with parsing the SVN stat command to provide decorators for files (but not dirs) in the file explorer of my newly renamed Shell Extensions plugin. I'm using the default CB version control icons, but if someone wants to contribute prettier graphics, you know the drill...
checkout from the cbilplugins svn (link to project page in my sig). i haven't tested on windows and it runs pretty slowly for now.
PS: has anyone tried bazaar? In my short testing period, it leaves SVN in the dust...

Hi dmoore,
cool. I will test the new features in the plugin. What about using TortoiseSVN icons?
What program do you use to make the icons and what is the original format (svg)? I will have a look at it and perhaps at the week end I will spend some time on making new icons.
dmoore:
mario: the icons are somebody elses handy work -- they were already in share/codeblocks/images. I won't use the tortoise icons unless the license allows it. if you do make icons, make the decorators a separate image from the file/folder icon and then just overlay them in the gimp or something.
I don't think you will have success on win32. it looks like svn stat reports the relative path on win32 (it reports the full path on linux). I'll fix sometime today.

I have tried pretty much everything in distributed SCMs and my advice is to try Mercurial (hg). It 's blazing fast, python powered and user friendly. Even Linus had a few good words for it (which is rare) and it's the only one he compared to git (his own, used for the kernel, also really fast SCM). I was working with darcs for quite a while, then tried out bzr, git, monotone and stuck with hg. Oh and any distributed system leaves the centralized ones in the dust.

my impression was bazaar is being more actively developed (it has Shuttleworth's $ behind it after all). I'm only using bzr for personal use, so my needs are modest. I'm loving the option to make offline commits and bind/unbind a networked repository...
for giggles, if you send me the output of some sample "hg status" commands I'll implement the file decorators for it as well. (I just implemented the decorators for bzr and fixed the svn win32 issues). EDIT: don't worry hg was easy to download and as easy to use as bzr :)
