What is SVN Path Copy?

It's an extension for the Windows Context Menu that adds an option to copy the URL of a SVN file with or without the revision number ("Copy SVN URL with REV" and "Copy SVN URL").

What Problem does SVN Path Copy Solve?

When you work with a SVN repository and need to document the state of a file you will need a link to a certain revision of it. You can check the revision of a file with the commandline or the file properties, but it's repetitive work to generate the urls to certain files with the revision manually.

The idea for this tool came from my colleague Heinz. It makes it very easy to keep the svn links in the documentation up to date.
