Hi all,
My team is considering moving to subversion from CVS. The only thing
we have been waiting for is the eclipse plug-in to come up to par with
the CVS plug-in. It looks like it's very close, but we've run into a
couple of issues.
1. When doing Checkout... from SVN repository view, if you leave the
default project name, it isn't used.
Example : checking out a branch named QA of a project named 'foo', it
suggests the project name QA. However, it actually tries to use the name
'foo'. If you edit the name however, it works as expected.
2. This isn't so much a bug as a feature request. When using the CVS
plug-in, you can "Preview the merge in the synchronize view". This is
extremely useful. It allows you to find conflicts and resolve them using
the eclipse diff engine, which is much better than digging for >>>>
<<<<<<. It also lets you see exactly which files have changed. Is there
any chance this will be implemented?
3. After doing a merge into my workspace, I tried to revert the merge,
but it didn't work. Whenever I clicked on revert, it would process for a
while, but not do anything. To actually revert everything, I deleted
everything in the SVN Synchronize view then reverted the merges. I did
get errors about some files not being in the repository. However, they
were files that were added by the merge process.
In general, it seems like files which have been added to the workspace,
but aren't in subversion cause problems.
Would it be possible to have some option like CVS's "Override and
Update"?
#2 is really a killer for us, as we do a lot of merging, often every
week, between QA/DEV/HEAD branches, so anything that helps us keep our
merges clean is very hard to give up.
If I'm missing existing ways of accomplishing the above, please let me
know :)
Also, if someone wants me to enter issues into the Issue Tracker, or if
there is some other way to help, please let me know.
Thank you for your time, and thanks to the developers for their hard
work on Subclipse!
Paul
