Port to Linux

[Janek]

Hi all, moved to development on Linux from Windows and cannot get how
can people live without frontends for svn and git. Any plans for
porting Tortoise to Linux?

Thank you for your information.

That's me, ofcourse:)
But I will need help with how to integrate into linux: Tortoise does not use its onw front-end application, but exploits Explorer and all file managers using explorer extension. Good idea, no doubt. In Linux there is not such a common application I guess. There's GNU and KDE and even on KDE there are different applications as Dolphine, Krusader, etc. Any suggestions? Is there a common point to register extensions? Maybe we will need to select one of file manager applications and integrate with it.
Just now I'm trying to compile Tortoise git on linux with mentioned lib. It will take me some time too.
It's a fun:)

Curious to know where this left off?

TortoiseHg recently released a linux version and nautillus plugin, and I presume TortoiseGit for linux could share a lot of that code.

TortoiseGit is a very important tool, and sadly, RabbitVCS just doesn't quite meet the quality standard. It also seems to be mostly dead (or incredibly slow).
