For your information: There is already thunar-vcs-plugin in the repository, which integrates into thunar with a context menu to file and can do both svn and git.
What are the differences to RabbitSVN? Beside the facts that it is written in python and therefore has some more dependencies ... I think a good tool for Nautilus users, anyway.
I know about thunar-vcs-plugin, and it is good software. But that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be the only option. In my opinion, there is plenty of room for both.
Regarding the differences, thunar-vcs-plugin supports svn and git, whereas RabbitVCS currently only supports svn (with plans in the future for git and others). In that area, thunar-vcs-plugin is clearly better than RabbitVCS. However, RabbitVCS has a better user interface (my opinion) and more functionality (such as a repository browser, merge tool, and advanced diff/compare functionality). Also, RabbitVCS provides front-ends to several file managers and programs, such as Nautilus, Thunar, and Gedit (the text editor), with Dolphin/Konqueror on the way. So this allows you to have a consistent way of interacting with RabbitVCS from different front-ends. thunar-vcs-plugin is limited to being a thunar plugin only.
