[Gecode] Subversion

[Christian Schulte]

I will only be able to play with it end of next week.

However, as good as subversion might be, what is still highest on my list of
software infrastructure is a reasonable set of Makefiles.

Hi.

I have imported our CVS into a subversion repository at
https://www.gecode.org/svn

You can either enter that url into your web browser and browse the current 
trunk, or use the svn command line client. For an easy start, try svn
checkout https://www.gecode.org/svn/trunk/gecode

(You will need to login with your account at ps.uni-sb.de, svn access has
been 
granted to all those who have had cvs access before.)

Online documentation for subversion is available from
http://subversion.tigris.org

Subversion has a lot of advantages over CVS. In my opinion, the most
important 
improvements for us are
* providing versioning for directories
* proper handling of moving and removing files and directories
* proper handling of branches and tags
* offline diff and status - no need to contact the server to see your
changes
* better access control

Subversion is now in use by several really big projects (e.g. KDE), so it 
seems to be stable enough. The command line interface is very similar to cvs

- it should be easy to adjust to it. Of course this is a major decision, and

we have to decide on this before the release. So, please try it out and tell

me what you think of it.

Cheers,
	Guido
