I and my colleagues who develop using Linux as our desktop are
anxiously awaiting the release of NautilusSvn. The command line is
powerful and everything but for day to day use nothing beats a direct
integration of the vcs inside the file manager. Thanks so much for
putting this together.
A quick question. Our development team is using svn v1.6.1, with some
developers on Windows and some on Linux. It is very important to us
that we maintain the same exact version of the svn client across the
whole team.
So my question is: Does NautilusSvn use the existing libsvn that I
have installed on my machine already (which is at the correct
version)? Or will it use its own version? I'm hoping that NautilusSvn
will use the libsvn I already have so I can ensure compatibility with
my colleagues by controlling the libsvn version.
We don't actually use libsvn directly. In fact, we use the pysvn
library (http://pysvn.tigris.org/) which in turn uses whatever libsvn
library you have installed on your computer. So you should be safe.

Just in addition to Adam's comments: I've been using NautilusSVN/RabbitVCS on three different machines, plus virtual machines, using SVN clients and servers from 1.4 to 1.6. The only problems I've encountered have been with the specific merge features that differ between SVN versions.
