TortoiseSVN is a Windows Explorer shell extension, so it can't be
ported to Finder.

There are several MacOS clients, at least one of which plugs into Finder, IIRC.

What about SubWeaver? Would that be considered close to Tortoise type of deal? If we're using Tortoise would that be a no no to our designer and he should wait really until a Tortoise plug-in comes out for Mac instead?

I take it you're not the person who'll be using the Mac? Finder is the
name of the file browser application on Mac OS; it's the Mac
equivalent to Windows Explorer.

I don't see how there will ever be a Tortoise plug-in for the Mac, but
others have already pointed to equivalents for the Mac... there are
plenty of Subversion clients for the Mac, so there's no reason to use
TortoiseSVN, which is a Windows client. SubWeaver is a Subversion
plugin for Dreamweaver--if you're planning on using Subversion to
version-control a website that's being created in Dreamweaver, then
sure, give it a try. I don't have any personal experience with it.

There will never be TortoiseSVN for Mac because TortoiseSVN is
integrated into Windows itself. If you want similar functionality in
MacOS, you need something like SCPlugin (which was suggested earlier).

As David pointed out, Finder is roughly equivalent to Windows
Explorer. If you're going to be supporting this individual (and it
sounds like you will, since you're doing the legwork to find a
Subversion GUI client for him), you need to have at least a little
familiarity with MacOS concepts & terminology.

I have no idea what you mean by "If we're using Tortoise would that be
a no no to our designer" - are you saying that your designer can only
use the same tools that your Windows users are using, even if they
don't exist on MacOS?

Sorry, but since you're the one making a "recommendation" on what Mac
SVN client this designer should be using, you're going to become his
de facto support person. They're going to come to you for
*everything*. When things don't work out, it will be seen as a failure
of Subversion in general, when it really isn't.

> Has anyone used SubWeaver?

Unless your designer is exclusively using DreamWeaver, it's not going
to work out for him.

SubWeaver also requires that you already have Subversion installed on
the Mac sounds like it just calls the command-line programs in the
background. http://code.google.com/p/subweaver/wiki/Installation
