The Patchworks project aims to improve integration between the open-source revision control system darcs and Mac OS X. It provides a graphical interface to standard darcs commands; Spotlight integration for darcs patches; and more advanced repository administration.

Patchworks is written in Cocoa, using Xcode.

Patchworks is only available in source form at the moment. You can browse the unstable repository or download it with darcs:

darcs get http://www.jonathonmah.com/repos/Patchworks-unstable

Patchworks currently allows importing of darcs patches into Spotlight. Browsing of darcs repositories is under development. I'm hesitant to work on Patchworks at the moment, as darcs's repository format is likely to change soon. I feel it is best to wait until the format has been finalized before committing too much time to the current version.
