Hello,
Sorry if this has already been brought up, but a google search only returned
a whole lot of static. I want to make a suggestion to make Import similar
to Add where you have checkboxes to remove folders from the import list.
Currently if you want to make a new repository and import a large project
the best way is to first import the structure, then checkout the trunk, copy
all your source files into the trunk working copy, then from the trunk
perform an add (at this point you can un-tick all the binary folders), then
do a commit. That makes for an extra commit during the setup process and
seems a bit more laborious. Just performing a blind import fills your
repository with all kinds of nasty binaries if you haven't cleaned up your
code tree first.
If you had the tick boxes on import, you could setup your tags, branches,
trunk structure in a temporary folder, move all your source files into the
trunk, perform the import, and simply untick all the binaries. That's a
single import to setup a whole repository for sourcecode without performing
a pre-import cleanup.
New users will have a better overall impression up front IMHO - as it is now
I find it hard to convert new coders to habitually use subversion with
tortoisesvn, but I am slowly succeeding - my list of converts is growing
fast.
Thanks for TortoiseSVN, I don't go a day without using it.
Regards,
Troy Simpson
