Contribution: Extension of the ColumnProvider supporting the display of custom SVN-Properties in detail view of Windows Explorer

Dear TortoiseSVN Development Team,

at Logica we use TortoiseSVN for the versioning of a large legacy codebase. We were missing a feature, took the time implementing it and would like to share it with You. Attached to this email You will find patch files for both, the current development trunk of TortoiseSVN and back ports to version 1.6.6 which we use in-house.

Extension of the ColumnProvider supporting the display of custom SVN-Properties in detail view of Windows Explorer.

- The patch for the ColumnProvider of TortoiseSVN reads the tsvn:userfileproperties and tsvn:userdirproperties properties of a working copy on initialization of the ColumnProvider and allows users to select any properties listed therein as columns in Explorer detail view.

- We use this feature to display a description text for most files contained in our codebase which turns out to be quite helpful.

- Also, I fixed a bug in the current development trunk that caused the numeric status column to contain no data at all.

- Notice, we are aware of Windows Vista and 7 not supporting ColumnProviders anymore.

Also, I implemented a minor optimization of PreserveChdir scope guard.

- The patch avoids buffer allocation on destruction of the scope guard where possible.

Regards,

   Thomas Beckmann.
