I like TortoiseSVN's windows integration, Is there something like that for dealing with git-svn? I'd even go with a less integrated GUI if it is quick enough to access.

I don't really know where to begin. Let's start with the stupid questions: What language should I use for this? What is suited for the task at hand? Next, the real ones: Is there a way to stop the screensaver from starting, short of changing the cursor position? If not, will changing the cursor position even work? ...
I'm printing a complicated swing application UI to a physical printer via an Airport. I've got Mac & windows machines both printing to the same printer. Printing from the Mac looks great.
