Pedro,
Why does bringing in a CWS require creating diffs?
You know what, I bet we're not the First Ones in the History of the
Universe to use branches in SVN. So rather than fill this list with
needless speculation on what is and what isn't supported, and what
works best, I'd recommend we all just take the time to do some
homework and read what the experts have written:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.branchmerge.html
I took the time to study this to some degree, and it looks valuable (and
manageable). Since we have such a case currently with Svg replacement I
offer to test this.
I have a pretty advanced version of the Svg replacement now, but still
locally (and some backups on an external drive), but nothing I would
call safe compared to a checked-in version on a well managed server.
Also already some people opted to take a look and test it, also a
situation to use a Svn branch.
We need to talk about the syntax, though. The most used one seems to be
to use something like
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/branches/svnreplacement
or (remembering CWSes):
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/cws/svnreplacement
What would be preferred and should I just start doing it...?
Sincerely,
Armin
