check in branch checks in each package seperately
« on: September 08, 2006, 06:00:30 am »
In the General Board no real feedback was given, so I consider this to be a nice request:

Using version control (subversion) I have a package which contains a few other packages. The latter are controlled. If I issue a "Check in Branch" on the top-level package, I nicely get a dialog to select which of the underlying version controlled packages I want to check in. Exactly as described in the user guide: http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide/index.html?checkinginandchecking outp.htm. All very nice, except ...

that the "check in branch" option just seems to be a loop over the "check in" (1 package) functionality, because checking in a branch with 3 packages will cause 3 seperate commits to the repository, which is ... rather pity.

I doubt this to be a bug ;-) But is there a way this could be turned into an option? The difference cannot be that hard to implement. In stead of providing one package filename to the commandline interface, the list of filenames just needs to be passed.  

Thanks for your feedback in advance,
Christophe VG
