Most developers these days use a version control system to keep track of changes in their code, and Subversion is probably the most popular. While there are some slick Mac clients available, some folks have wanted a solution that integrates with the Finder like the Windows client TortoiseSVN integrates with the Windows shell and the SCPlugin brings exactly that. While they still have some features on the wish list (e.g. repository browsing), the developers think the newly released version 0.7 is "ready to be your one-and-only Subversion interface." It offers contextual menu control for common operations as well as icon badging to help you see file status visually.
SCPlugin is open source and a free download from Tigris.org

Update: I hear ya. I didn't realize at first that Versions is a no show so far. So all the more reason to check out SCPlugin!

Calling Versions "available" is a bit of a stretch. I have been on their list for additional information about an "almost ready" beta since you wrote about them on June 17th, and not a single peep has been heard.

Yeah, I've also been wondering what ever happened to Versions. Versions is nothing but Vaporware right now.

Agreed, Marshall. I even sent the developers of Versions an email asking for an update on progress and heard nothing in return. "There are some slick Mac clients available" should read "there is a slick vaporware Mac client planned."

The images tha SCPlugin lays over all of my icons are so ugly that I can't stand to use it.
I'll stick with the command line.

The link points to a page where you can download a plugin released on Aug 20th.
I guess they just never sent email out about it?
