RE: Re: is the "task" concept available in SubVersion?

Hi,

A 'task' could be multiple commits... I was about to suggest using branches for this; and using merging or reverse-merging to apply or undo the changes involved in the 'task'.

Regards,

Yes, you're describing what most people call a 'changeset', or a
'patch', 'single commit' or whatever. Subversion's global revision
numbers are simply names of changesets. You can refer to them by name,
merge them by name, revert them by name, etc.
