It is known that RabbitVCS may be integrated into Nautilus file manager by installing the corresponding rabbitvcs-nautilus package.
This adds related menu items calling tools for Subversion (SVN) and Git.
But is it possible to integrate it into Caja file manager as in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS or 18.04 LTS?
I got it to work using the ppa, not the official repos :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
#don't forget
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus3
... I don't know what's in the official repositories, but it doesn't work.
and you will need to re-read the nautilus config
ps auxw|grep nautilus
kill -HUP <processid>
or just log out and back in again.
The alternative is to use Caja and its Caja-actions:
sudo apt-get install caja-actions caja
You can setup anything in caja-actions-config-tool:
The official documentation is built-in when installed and also available in the github repository.
Also Caja has a lot of caja-extensions, so caja-actions is just one of them:
Available Extensions:
Since we can not resurrect the Nautilus, the use of Caja seems appropriate.

Thanks to @DKBose with his finding - we need to use RabbitVCS script from https://github.com/rabbitvcs/rabbitvcs/tree/master/clients/caja .
But with small correction - we can not use latest (master) version.
For 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS we need to run the following commands:
For 20.04 LTS:
