Mark,
I understand, that this is a subversion issues and not a subclipse one. As
described in a previous email, I would like to move from cvs to subversion
but for us it is a must that we can compare files with tags easily (like the
cvs plugin does it).
It can take a long time until subversion has a better support for that and I
thought it should be easy that the user can define tag aliases via a dialog
like below:
Alias Revision
Rel_1_1 1528
Rel_1_2 1675
I know that this is probably not a great concept but should be easy to
implement.
