SCPlugin and Spotlight
A mystery was solved today! The current build of SCPlugin (v.269) causes the search field of the System Preferences application to not work under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Specifically, the preference pane for SCPlugin, not the actual extension.
SCPlugin add a contextual menu to Finder for Subversion. It also is able to “badge” files in the Finder to show their subversion status. It is a nice tool, but hardly required. In any case, if you want your searches to work again, just remove the preference pane for it from /Library/PreferencePanes. SCPlugin will still work, but you won’t be able to change the location of the subversion binary or disable the plugin easily without restoring the preference pane.
Murk:
Will Mac ever get a decent Subversion client? SCPlugin is the closest I have seen, but falls way short. It is buggy and lacks tons of needed features. Just take a look at TortoiseSVN to see what SCPlugin should be.

Hi. I’ve been trying to get SCPlugin working on my MacBook (Tiger 10.4.7), any chance you may know of a way to get it to work? I’ve been looking all over!
