[Mint] Installing RabbitVCS with Nemo

RabbitVCS is an excellent GUI tool for Subversion. Unfortunately, there’s no official support for Nemo (the new file manager for Cinnamon), but until there is there is a workaround.
First, install rabbitvcs-core:
  • Open a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-t)
  • Add the required APT repository
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
  • Update the APT indexes
    sudo apt-get update
  • Install rabbitvcs-core
    sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-core
Now apply the workaround:
  • Download the RabbitVCS.py attached : RabbitVCS
  • Add the required APT repository
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable
  • Update the APT indexes
    sudo apt-get update
  • Install python-nemo
    sudo apt-get install python-nemo
  • Copy the RabbitVCS.py patch to the appropriate location
    cd ~/Downloads
    sudo mv RabbitVCS.py /usr/share/nemo-python/extensions/
  • Log out and in again
You should now be able to see the RabbitVCS entries on the right-click menu, as well as the Subversion icon overlays for any of your Subversion repositories.
