Subversion revert and delete
« on: October 20, 2009, 07:57:39 pm »
Hi all,

I'm playing around with SVN integration in EA, and there's a few things that seem a bit elaborate. Two questions regarding this:

1) Is there a way, within EA, to do an SVN revert of a particular package to go back to a previous version (and then effectively do a check-in, so that is now the latest)? I can't find any way to do this other than to do the revert manually, outside of EA, using TortoiseSVN.

2) Is there a way to, when you delete a package from EA, delete it from the SVN repo also? I'm finding that when I delete a package and then later make a new one which happens to have the same name, and try to version control it, it complains because there's something with the same name already in SVN. Again, the only way I can seem to do this is by manually using TortoiseSVN outside of EA.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks very much for the quick reply. It's good to have confirmation to be sure I'm not just being blind!

My experience is that you need to rely on subversion and tortoise more than you should to make integration work.

The  rule of thumb is that if you make subversion and ea agree, then everything is peachy.  You need to be aware that ea records check in state in the t_package table.  If you hit difficulties then look up the package here.

My biggest gripe is that should your windows password get changed you will need to clear your saved authentication data using tortoise then update using svn.  If you do this then you cannot connect.
