Hi all,

We have installed TortoiseSVN and PushOk for our version control. We are having
difficulty setting up the repository. We initially set up a repository for each developer, but quickly found we couldn't 'share' work on projects easily. So now we
are trying to convert to one repository and that is not working either. Can't seem
to import or export from our current repositories to our new single repository. Just
wondering if anyone has already tried this and if it's working for you or if there is a better option for version control that works with WebFocus.

Thank you.

Michelle

By 'sharing' you mean you want to push changes to other developers without committing them to the central repo, I suppose?

We use Mercurial (Hg) here, which is a distributed version control system. People have their own (local) repositories, and they could (we're not doing that, but it is possible) push their changes directly to repositories of other developers. Our choice for Mercurial is mostly due to the systems we needed supported (SVN doesn't have an OpenVMS client, for example), but it works quite well.

If you're looking for integration in Dev Studio; don't bother. I know there is something for SVN (is that what PushOK is?), but it only works so-so. You have a lot more freedom using your version control system of choice directly on a file-system instead of trying to wrangle it through Dev Studio.

I'd love to see good version control integration in Dev Studio, but it isn't there currently. If enough people are asking for it, perhaps some day we will get it!

Thank you Wep5622 for the response. I am definitely asking for it. I will put in a NFR. I don't know if it's something that is coming in 8 or not. By sharing I mean just being able to check out someone else's project, look at it or work on it, then check it back into the repository. This is so two developers can work on the same project, within one repository. The way we have it set up now is if someone else checks it out of my repository then it makes my repository show that everything is 'Not Controlled'. This is not ideal. I think we may be expecting too much from Dev Studio. And yes, PushOk is the go between TortoiseSVN and WebFocus, it allows them talk to each other. I will look into Mercurial now, thank you.
