Hi Developers @ TortoiseSVN,
First, I would like to thank you guys for making such a great front-end for
Subversion. It has helped my work tremendously! Second, I have few
suggestions for TortoiseSVN.
I suggest that TortoiseBlame and TortoiseMerge be combined together. This
way we would have greater sight on overall changes. I had read about the
Merge Tracking on the upcoming Subversion 1.5. It would be nice when
TortoiseBlame and TortoiseMerge work together along with Merge Tracking.
Further suggestion I have is for TortoiseSVN become more developer-friendly.
Currently in TortoiseMerge I can only copy text from the left pane to the
right pane. It would be more developer-friendly when it could be done
vice-versa. A great merge tool for reference is WinMerge, available at
http://winmerge.org.
Now we can compare revisions with 2 or more revisions apart by selecting 2
revisions in the Revision Graph, or compare working copy with another
revision through right-click in the Log Messages, or selecting 2 revisions
in the Log Messages and compare them. Hence, Log Messages seems to have more
control in comparing revisions than Revision Graph which is quite ironical.
I had read that the Repository Browser will become Explorer-like in the
coming version of TortoiseSVN. For developer-friendliness, I suggest
changing the Revision Graph to become Explorer-like with full revision
comparison functionality for better viewing and easy navigation. There would
be 2 modes of view, mode 1 is files(parent) and revisions(child), mode 2 is
revisions(parent) and files(child).
Thanks for all the hard work in making TortoiseSVN the best Subversion tool
out there!!
Cheers!
Joel
