Re: [platform-vcm-dev] History view

["James Moody/OTT/OTI" <James_Moody@xxxxxxx>]

It does a sophisticated analysis of the history and branch points and 
renders the superimposes the result on a digitized image of a tree; I have 
chosen maple initially but I may move to sycamore if it more accurately 
reflects typical CVS workflow. <g>

Actually it's just the same table as was in the previous world, with the 
addition of a "tags" field (i.e. tags are no longer bundled in with the 
revision number like they used to be).

Mike and I are both self-hosting here. It has been quite usable. Before I 
release, I do an Update on the project; this will automatically take 
incoming changes, and will tell you about any conflicts. If there were 
conflicts (unlikely) I manually fix them. Then I just select all the files 
and Commit... release comments work the same as before. (Multi-line 
comments might even work now, I'm not sure).

If you're used to using CVS, this quite closely follows the workflow.

Wow, that was fast!  ...and does it do a fancy graphical layout of the
history graph and everything<g>

Are you 2.0 self-hosting too?  That implies that self-hosting is pretty
stable.

Tim

History view is released. To use it:
        -Go to the CVS Repositories view
        -Select a file
        -Right-click and Show in Resource History.

Coming soon:
        -Show in Resource History from the navigator and packages view
        -Multi-line comment support
        -Drag and Drop
        -Proper date handling (currently they're just strings)

Stay tuned,

james

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. The current thinking is that there
probably isn't anything useful that we can even do generically to support
history, since the contents of the history is very provider-specific. So
this will be a custom CVS piece. It uses the IRemoteFile / ILogEntry API
in the CVS core.

As a side note, James' work will be a custom CVS piece, not a reusable
History view (since there is no history API in ITeamProvider).

Now that our 2.0 code is released, and in the spirit of open
communication...

I'm starting work on a History view for the team CVS UI. I'll use the
history view in the VCM component as a base. After I get it ported I want
to make some improvements to handle such things as multi-line comments
better than they are currently handled (which is not at all...).

I'll post updates here when I release code.
