DESCRIPTION
SVN Notifier... Version control is essential for collaborative development, and we do a lot of collaborative development at Arc90, so we rely heavily on our Subversion repositories. One of the things we’ve noticed is that it’s hard for developers to keep up with their repositories’ and working copies’ statuses: Is my copy out of date? Has someone committed something to the repository?

So we wrote a Dashboard widget that monitors working copies and repositories to make sure that it’s always clear what’s what. And we threw in Growl support to make the package extra appealing. It’s a great way to keep tabs on your development efforts.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.0.1: Patched a security hole and fixed a few other small things. Also supports Tiger (1.0 did not).
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

    BUGDAVE  I can't believe I never thought of this. What makes it spectacular is the growl and growl sticky options. Good job dev  (Version 1.0.1)

    DIRK3  This is pretty handy. I especially like built-in Growl notifications.

    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.  (Version 1.0.1)

    KIDDAILEY  Darn. I was so excited to try this out (sounds awesome), but it won't work for me at all.

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

    Bummer.  (Version 1.0)

    JOBBY  Growl notifications for svn commits - nifty!

    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 :)  (Version 1.0)
