| Syncro Soft Announces New Major Release of Syncro SVN Client Syncro Soft has announced the immediate availability of version 4.0 of the Syncro SVN Client. Version 4.0 of the Syncro SVN Client adds Subversion 1.5 features like merge tracking, sparse checkout and relative URLs for the svn:externals property and a merge wizard which simplifies the SVN merge operations. Starting with SVN 1.5 the revision at which a branch is merged is remembered. This is useful for the next merge operation when only the changes committed to the branch after the previous merge operation are considered. Sometimes not all the files and subdirectories of a repository are needed in a working copy. In these cases only the needed subdirectories and files can be checked out from the repository by selecting one of the following checkout depths for a directory: recursive, immediate children, file children only, this folder only. A new action "Update to revision" is available in the Working Copy view. It allows updating the resources selected in the working copy to an earlier revision from the repository. The depth of the update operation on the folders can be selected from the values allowed by SVN 1.5 sparse checkout. A merge wizard was added to perform complex merge operations easier. Three types of merging are available: merge revision ranges, reintegrate a branch and merge two different trees. Advanced merge options can also be set. Syncro SVN Client can be run on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
