I care much more to see a keyword that does what SubWCRev does.
It would be very sweet to replace:
SubWCRev <blah blah> variousfiles.xxx.in variousfiles.xxx
<compile project>
<remove variousfiles.xxx again>
in build scripts with a simple 'svn up' or perhaps a specialized 'svn
up --keywords-only'.
It would give much cleaner integration, SVN <-> Visual Studio wise.
Eg.:
- no more complaints about missing variousfiles.xxx,
- much less tinkering with pre-/post-build commands,
- much less fuzz with developers that doesn't understand the SubWCRev
magic or why they shouldn't create and/or modify variousfiles.xxx,
- less margin for error when eg. the build fails in various stages -
with only 1 file and 1 command to update it's keywords, there's not a
lot of places it can go wrong.
