If you use SC Plugin to work with Subversion, you may have noticed that the icons used by SC Plugin to mark the status of a file aren’t always up to date. Apparently, this has something to do with how the Finder handles notifications that something has happened to the items in a particular folder.

This issue has been disscussed a few times on the SC Plugin mailing lists, and the author has posted a link to a free utility called Nudge, that can be used until SC Plugin can handle the updating of the icons correctly.

Installing Nudge adds an item to the contextual menu of Finder that allows you to “nudge”, or refresh the contents of a folder, and causes the icons in your SVN working copy to reflect their true status. I’ve been using it for a few days now, and it seems to work pretty good. If you use SVN on a Mac, you may want to check it out.
