Thanks very much, we're glad you like it! If you have any ideas, comments, concerns or problems, let us know:

However, this would be so much more useful if it could monitor multiple working copies. I work on various projects from different repositories and would like to be notified of changes to any of them.
You can _absolutely_ do this: just add multiple copies of the widget. Each one is instance-aware and will remember its specific preferences.
As an aside, this is exactly what I do: I have three open for the primary projects I'm working on.
Hope this helps,

I'm not sure this makes sense, but I 100% agree that the widget takes up far too much space as currently laid out. Hopefully, in future releases, we'll be able to slim everything down and present the information in a more compact, clear way.

I put in the path to the working copy and nothing happens. Even tried escaping the spaces in the path with slashes. Nothing.
Bummer.

You're absolutely right - there was a bug in our code that assumed the Leopard location for the svn binary instead of finding where it is. v1.0.1 fixes this bug and properly looks for the svn binary.

Unfortunately the preamble is so long that Growl cuts off the commit message (at least with the iPhonesque Mini display style and "limit to 2-5 lines" on). I've hacked the text in my copy to be less verbose, but could we have an option to reduce it to something like "r1033 / bob:" to save space?
The text in the widget is a bit on the tiny side, too... it's fine on the main iMac monitor, but the secondary monitor is a CRT, and it's unreadable there. (Of course, I'd rather my boss replaced the CRT with a 23" Cinema Display :)
Thanks for the comments. We agree that there should be an option to limit the size of the Growl notification, and also that the widget itself could make far better use of space and fonts. We'll note these suggestions for future releases.
