Improved subversion plugin
-
Hi, I spent some time improving the subversion plugin in Qt Creator. The result can be downloaded( or some screenshots) from "http://bavooo.be/qtcreator/":http://bavooo.be/qtcreator/
Summary:
- Set a default SVN Repository in settings.
- Possibility to add(import) a new project immediately to a svn repository.
- Possibility to add(import) an existing project to a svn repository.
- Default SVN Repository is pre-filled in when creating a new project from a subversion checkout.
- Possibility to look for branches when creating a new project from a subversion checkout. The branches are actually just sub directories on the svn repository given that svn doesn't have a strict branching concept.
Some feedback/remarks?
Also I've noticed the "Qt Creator Plug in Contribution Guide" is removed from the wiki so I've no idea how to make the plugin noticeable, if it seems useful.
-
The most noticeable way would be to just contribute your changes back to Qt Creator itself: It will get you a place in all our hearts as well as the changes file:-)
You can also put the plugin here: https://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_Creator_Plug-in_Gallery

Any idea how I can put it in the Qt_Creator_Plug-in_Gallery? Like I mentioned in my first post, the “Qt Creator Plug in Contribution Guide” is removed.

It is a wiki page, so just edit the page.
The edit button is in the right bar in the wiki menu.
I would really love to see your changes merged into Creator proper though. I think I have a bugreport open about importing into SVN... I love getting to fixes contributed;-)

Thx, I did not realize was a wiki page.
I'll have a look how to get it merged with Qt Creator. It's my first contribution so it's all a bit new.
-
It is pretty straight forward. http://wiki.qt-project.org/Main_Page has the details. Check "Qt Contribution Guidelines" and "Contributing and Reviewing Code". There is lots of other information there. Feel free to ask in #qt-creator on irc.freenode.net, the mailing list or here in the forum if you have questions.

Recommended !
I was surprised that the default subversion.dll didn't include basic functionality (ie. specifying the repository location).
This plugin works as expected.
Thank-you Bavo Van Gelt. -
Glad to hear that it was useful. I was thinking to continue where I left off and finally contribute the changes back to the Qt Creator source.

Please, Do it! The default one doesn't even allow you to branch! keep up the good work!
