TortoiseSVN is one of widely known clients for Apache Subversion.
It integrates into the Windows shell but it is not limited to Windows Explorer only.
The context menu appears in Open dialog window as well.
However, it might not be able to integrate well with some third-party file managers.
It is simply because TortoiseSVN is developed for Windows Explorer.
Features and Highlights
TortoiseSVN is a shell extension.
Instead of looking through your Start menu, open Windows Explorer, and right-hit a folder.
Note that several TortoiseSVN entries may appear when you right-punch a shortcut in a versioned folder.
It is not a bug.
It is how TortoiseSVN works.
There is an indicator in each of the entries that let you know what the entry is for.
TortoiseSVN allows you to see the status of your files simply by looking at their icons in Windows Explorer.
It uses an overlay icon to show the Subversion status of each of the file in the working copy.
The red exclamation mark, for example, means that the file has changed.
It represents three states: modified, replaced, or merged.
A green checkmark icon shows that the file status is normal.
In other words, it represents a missing state or a deleted state.
Every modified line is colored so that they are easy to spot.
While TortoiseMerge works for files that contain text, TortoiseIDiff is developed to compare images.
