CVS and Subversion integration/connectors


Gary Dang (59328855) | asked May 27 '08, 9:32 a.m.
It appears that 1.0 will include the "Subversion integration". Is this similar to the "CC/CQ Connector" type of integration?

Also, is there plan to include the CVS "integration" or "connector"?

Subversion integration in 1.0 will not be in the form of a "connector",
but rather as a "bridge". With a bridge, you just use Subversion as you
normally would, but there is a hook that at Subversion checkin time will
allow you to associate the Subversion checkin with a Jazz workitem
(similar to the kind of integration you get with Mylyn, for those that
are familiar with Mylyn).

We also are providing a Subversion-to-Jazz "importer" (that provides
one-time import of your Subversion repository to a Jazz repository).

For CVS, in 1.0 we only provider "importer" functionality.

Cheers,
Geoff

As Geoff indicated, the Subversion support only provides linking between
work items and SVN revisions. The same type of support is not easy
doable for CVS since CVS does not provide a way of grouping files that
were changed in the same commit.

Here is a link to a bug report that requests connector style integration
with CVS and Subversion.
