Hi,

As some of you might already have seen.
I have started working on a svn plugin for thunar.
My goal is to make it quite simalar to TortoiseSVN.

I have run into a design issue and I would like some input from other
people.
When a svn command is selected, I have 2 options to handle them, as I see
it.
1. Implement them directly into the plugin using libsvn-1
2. Let another procces/application handle the actions.

Some pros and cons i could think of:
1. This could bock whole thunar.
    When thunar is quit so is all the svn stuff, like logs.
2. This would mean duplicate code.
    Litle slower.
    Again another app.

I prefer option 2.
In that case I have a few quections.
Should the app be part of the plugin or a stand alone project?
What should the app be called? I find names like gsvn, xsvn, xfsvn, tsvn a
bit dull.
I'm thinking of making the app command-line compatible with svn

I like to hear what you think :)

Greetings,
Peter
