I use subversion (have for years via the command line) but in this new job I am keeping files on my Mac and not the server. I installed the command line tool and SCPlugin for fun but it turns out to be so handy I use it primarily now.
Right click (or control click) on an icon (single file or a folder) and towards the bottom there'll be all your subversion commands. In Leopard they are under the 'More' menu in Panther they are in the first menu (this might be set is some finder preferences that I haven't come across yet).
SCPlugin puts a green (svn up to date), yellow (svn knows nothing) or red (modified) mark on the files icon which makes it really easy to see what's changed.
It works with BBEdit's svn functions, then command line tools and, I presume, others or just by itself.

If you've ever used TortoiseSVN on Windows, this brings very similar functionality to the Finder. In fact, this was inspired by Tortoise.
Overall, this is an extremely handy utility that enables you to do SVN checkouts, commits, status checks, log checks, etc. on a directory or file right from the Finder. It doesn't have all the functionality of Tortoise, but it has all the essentials, and the rest can be done as needed directly from the command line or via a separate program (I like the free SvnX).
As this is an early release, there are some UI quirks (e.g., no select all/unselect all/invert selection commands in the commit window) and the occasional bug, and its icon badging mechanism doesn't get along very well with Leopard's icon previews, but it's still a utility I don't like to work without as I spend all day, every day working with SVN repositories.
