Status of Stream or SCM Synchronizer with subversion (SVN)


Patrick LiƩtar (162) | asked May 04 '11, 12:54 p.m.
Hello,

I couldn't find a clear status about a potential stream or SCM synchronizer with subversion (SVN). Could one tell me whether this already exists, is in development or if I should not even dream about it?

Thanks in advance!

Patrick

There is an SVN importer. And the SVN importer is incremental, i.e.
you can run the importer again, and it will import the changes since you
last imported. So that gives you at least one direction for a
synchronizer. You'd have to write your own exporter, and you'd have to
either script or manually perform any merges, when changes to the same
stream have been made in both RTC and SVN.

Cheers,
Geoff

As Geoff indicated, RTC does provide the ability to perform incremental imports from SVN into RTC.

We did some exploratory work on pushing changes from RTC to SVN but this is not currently on our plan. The story is:

We also have a request for syncing between CVS/SVN and RTC.

Again, this is not currently part of our plan but both of these are something we hope to do in the future.
