Re:first time impressions/questions - 2006/08/23 14:01
I would love to see this, as it's something I have to do quite frequently (figure out what changed in a rev), and I've not been in the habit of listing the files in my comment (since that info was available in my windows client). Here is another place where it would be ideal to be able to right click on the file and see the diff. In this case, I can see uses both for diff-against-working-copy and diff-against-previous-rev, so you'd have to be careful to be clear what you were diffing against (preferably allowing both!  )
The diffing you're requesting sounds just like we're planning.
Your program, your choice. However, if you insist on using new terms please at least put a glossary someplace that references the real svn term so that regular SVN users can be sure they're doing what they expect. I won't use a feature if I don't know what it's doing to the repository underneath the covers.
okeidokie.
I think I'm missing something obvious here. If I'm looking at a working copy, wouldn't they all have the 'working copy' flag, and similarly if I'm looking at the repository they would not? At what point would they be mixed?
This seems to be something that's tripping up a lot of people that already had working copies (probably using the "import working copy" button). When you connect to the repository, you can check out any folder you see in there; at that point, it will be marked as a working copy, and overlays the repo view. It sounds like a lot of people are importing their working copies and keeping them all separate, and also connecting to the repo at a higher level when necessary - treating them as separate views, more like you might expect coming from svnX. Some of the changes we're planning for 1.1 should clear things up and allow this scenario to work better.
A new question - I haven't tried to import to a new repository yet.. Is it as simple as just dragging files from the finder onto the working copy and checking in? What is the equivalent of "svn add" and "svn import" ? In the past, I've resorted to setting up my repositories on windows in TortoiseSVN first, and I'd like to be able to avoid that!
You can drag files into the repo view to import them (it will prompt you for a checkin comment). Add happens when you're looking at a working copy and there are files there that aren't versioned - you just select them and click the add button. You can then check in your changes like any other modification.
