RE: Re: svn switch and checking out to an external working folder

Hi Rob,
 
1) After I branch, I can not figure out how to switch my project to use
the new branch. For example, I have a plugin called Administrator. I
have branched it to another location so I can do some changes without
bothering anyone else. I noticed that subversion has a command called
switch that will point my working directory to the branch. Does
subclipse have the capability to do this? If not, what are other doing
in this situation?
 
You could always try the command line - svn switch. Type "svn help
switch" for more info.
 
True, I could use the command line, but shouldn't subclipse have the
option someplace. I would think that subclipse would be able to do all
of the commands that you can do from the command line. What I would
really like to do is to do a branch from subclipse, and then tell
subclipse to update from the branch instead of updating from the trunk.
Does this make since? Maybe I am too use to VSS and what I am saying is
not the correct work flow. If that is the case, can someone tell me
what the correct work flow is?
 
Remember Subversion v 1.0 was only released in February, and Eclipse 3.0
was only released in June. The team has been making great progress in
the last few months since the Eclipse 3.0 Teamwork API was sufficiently
documented for them to be able to make progress again. I'm sure it's
only a matter of time before it's implemented in Subclipse - they've
probably taken note of your request, but you can submit a feature
request via the web site to make sure. Until then, there's always the
command line. Alternatively, this is an open source project, so you're
welcome to have a go at implementing it yourself and to submit a patch
for the core development team to review and (hopefully) commit.
 
Cheers,
