svn-filemanager-icons

svn-filemanager-icons is a lightweight Python extension that overlays
Subversion working-copy status emblems in Linux file managers.

It is intentionally modeled after git-nautilus-icons, but for SVN working
copies and with Debian/Ubuntu package splits for:

• Nemo
• Caja
• Nautilus

The project is deliberately not a TortoiseSVN/RabbitVCS-style graphical
frontend. It does not add commit/update/revert menus or dialogs. It only adds
visual status clues.

Runtime model

The extension uses the Subversion command-line client:

• svn status --xml --verbose
• local working-copy metadata only by default
• no Python SVN bindings
• no RabbitVCS dependency

The status work is done in a helper process so file-manager UI code does not
block while SVN status is computed.

Emblems

The initial icon vocabulary is intentionally small:

• svn-repo
• svn-clean
• svn-modified
• svn-added
• svn-deleted
• svn-conflicted
• svn-unversioned
• svn-ignored
• svn-external
• svn-locked
• svn-error

Debian package split

The intended binary package layout is:

• svn-filemanager-icons-common
• nemo-svn-filemanager-icons
• caja-svn-filemanager-icons
• nautilus-svn-filemanager-icons

The file-manager packages depend on subversion and the common icon/core
package.

Credits and license

The project uses the BSD 2-Clause license, matching git-nautilus-icons.

Developer test helpers

Run parser/unit tests without a desktop session:

python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

Create an offline SVN working-copy fixture on a machine with subversion
installed:

tools/create-local-svn-fixture.sh

Inspect computed emblem names from the command line:

tools/inspect-status.py /path/to/working-copy
