Versionshelf gives you hosted Git, Subversion and Mercurial repositories with an easy to use admin frontend.

No, you can't. However, we provide support for RSS feeds, Twitter and Slack out of the box.
For more custom needs we provide an URL notification hook for each repository (often called a web hook).
That hook requests one or more URLs after a commit has been done, and then posts the following arguments: repository, revision, author and log. Therefore, you can do with it whatever you like. The triggered URL can be a script that takes the information supplied and takes action, eg.: trigger your Continuous Integration Server, checkout the latest version of your webpage, send notifications by SMS, .... the possibilities are endless.
The Versionshelf administration interface is web-based, so there is nothing to install and no server/platform requirements to worry about. On the client side you need a Subversion, Git and/or Mercurial client - more on this topic below.
Git, Subversion and Mercurial can be easily used without any gui at the command-line.
You can also use one of the several graphical clients, like:
We are happy with the Subversion command-line client svn in combination with our favorite text editor SubEthaEdit on Mac OS X.
Following some links to Subversion command-line client distributions:
We stick with the command-line client but sometimes a graphical client is also nice.
