Okay, you probably already knew this, but I just figured it out. I was looking for a simple way to add and commit files to a subversion repository right from Path Finder. After playing with a lot of applescript nonsense, I finally discovered that with the Subversion Module installed in Quicksilver you can just invoke quicksilver with the current selection (⌃-⌥-space, unless you’ve modified the trigger) and type sv(n) to get a menu of Subversion commands to run on the selection. Status, Add, Commit, Log and Update are all available (with Growl support). The file actions (rm, cp, mv) are not available, but it does what I generally need to do. I’d probably prefer not to be able to delete files with an accidental keystroke, considering the speed at which Quicksilver works. So, for those using SVN for web development (or any other use), this is a great way to quickly check the status of a file/directory, add new files, and make a commit with a message. As a speed-related note, get used to typing svst, sva, and svc for quick access to the most used commands.
