Yes, Shun-Ichi Gotoh ;-) > If so when would it be so far that it can be integrated into trunk. > Or is this feature dropped because of > http://www.meadowy.org/~gotoh/projects/remote-svn-plugin/wiki. > Well, we haven't discussed this so far, so maybe this is the occasion. There are mainly two options: 1. "wontfix" #493 and ask people to use the remote-svn-plugin instead 2. integrate this plugin in core, as an alternative SVN backend There are several conditions for 2. to happen. First, Shun-Ichi Gotoh must be OK with that. Then we have to balance the benefits of having #493 supported out-of-the-box vs. having to maintain another backend. Right now, given the "experimental" status of the plugin, that balance doesn't seem to be in favor of the inclusion. And from a look at the code, this is by no means the fault of Shun-Ichi Gotoh, rather because of the many bugs and workarounds needed to make the RA/client level bindings work. Another argument /against/ 2. is that there could be an alternative implementation for the feature, by using PySVN, so it wouldn't be fair to pick one vs. the other. Of course, there's none such alternative implementation yet, so maybe that's not really a strong argument. That being said, if there are good progresses on the bindings (maybe for 1.4.4/1.5?) and on the svn-remote-plugin, I'd welcome its integration in Trac core, but I see that happening in the 0.12 timeframe, or even beyond. > Because we would like to have this feature very badly.

Another option would be to use rsync (http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2003-07/0226.shtml). -- Christian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
