  • Most of the svn action: add, blame, checkout, cleanup, commit, copy, delete, export, import, lock, log, move, properties, relocate, resolved, revert, status, switch, unlock, update.
  • Subversion info in file properties dialog.
  • Basic git actions: add, blame, branch, clean, clone, log, move, reset, stash, status.

Building and Installing

Building the Thunar VCS Plugin depends on xfce4-dev-tools version 4.8.0 or higher. For Thunar to be able to find the Thunar VCS Plugin, both have to be installed with the same prefix. The configure script will automatically try find the prefix of Thunar. To ensure this is the case, run the following command to build from tarball: 

./configure

For source build from the git repository run the following: 

./autogen.sh

After running one of these commands, the source is ready to be build and installed. For installation, root access might be necessary. 

make && make install
