It _is_ still in VS.NET, however. The paradigm it uses is pretty weak, however. If someone wanted to go this route it might be a much better option to go through the Visual Studio Integration Program and try to build a different linkage that is more specific to Subversion.

It is unclear what MS will do with this SCC API in Visual Studio 7/.NET. It doesn't sound very appealing to me to implement against an API that could go away under an NDA license, which will mean that we can only provide binaries. I'd rather see some talks with MS to find out where SCC is heading in Redmond. > Brian Sander --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@subversion.tigris.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@subversion.tigris.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@subversion.tigris.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@subversion.tigris.orgReceived on Sat Oct 21 14:36:51 2006 |
