I see. Integrating branches on SVN is said to be painful but to be honest there will always be many people that prefer perforce, or git or even CVS (really!). There is no such thing as a perfect tool. >From my reading CWSs are actually branches, and the one thing we really lost is EIS, but I think using SVN branches directly can be very useful. I think we could use a SVN branch as a buffer to integrate CWSs one by one; that way we don't interrupt current work and get to try the CWSs before the tree changes too much to make merging difficult. Creating branches is very easy and any committer can do it. Is there a way to get CWSs as diffs? cheers, Pedro. > We probably might want to reserve work on branches for > larger code > changes that require weeks or months, but integrate smaller > changes > directly into the master in a CI style with daily builds. > > Regards, > Mathias >
