RE: configuring for changesets, on the server side

Well, my users are pushing back.

They pointed to a page that specifically describes the using ChangeSets from Eclipse+SVN:

    SVN Workspace Synchronization:
    http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/teamSupport/workspace_synch.php

I see there this description of the Show Change Set button:

Show Change Sets ([http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/images/changeset.gif]) - displays specific model based on change sets. The view shows incoming changes grouped by commit comment which is handy for seeing who released what and why. For outgoing changes, the user can create change sets to group related changes.
For my users this functionality is not available.

I suppose that this might be a Client side config, and would really appreciate any pointers
to where this might be documented.

Thank you,

Christopher

Yes, I had read this, but had to wonder what ReviewBoard was complaining about.

I will query on that front. Thank you very much for the time.

Hello,

I need to confirm that our SVN server is configured to support changesets.

I noticed that the output of a reviewboard call referred to our server not
having this capability turned off:
=============================================================
repository info: Path: https://svn.sdd.hp.com/rg0102/itsm-st, Base
path: /SharedTech/cwc/4.1.0-sm, Supports changesets: False
=============================================================

I am thinking that there is a global server property that I can set, but the red-bean
SVN manual does not refer to this. (not in any block of text that also refers to
changesets, I checked).

Any pointers into the docs appreciated.

Take care,

There is no server-side changesets feature in SVN. Maybe since Reviewboard supports a variety of SCM tools this is something more generic, saying your SCM does not support changesets, where as others like Git probably do?
