Re: visual client (Windows dedicated)

[Martijn Boekhorst <MB...@xs4all.nl>]

With all this discussion about a visual client, it's time for me to unlurk 
from the shadows.

I'm working on a client for windows, quite briefly the featurelist is to 
include the following :
- merge and diff displays; three-way merge for conflicts.
- hierarchical display of working copy.
- syntax sensitive highlighting (something of a religious thing for me)

Given that it is nowhere near to being released or even remotely usable at 
this point, I've been lurking until I've got something to show for myself.

However, with work starting on a wxWindows version, I thought it wise to 
mention that there's another little windows dedicated tool too.

Goal is not compile-level portability, I'd imagine a port of this tool to be 
quite a bit more involved. GUI code is mixture of Win32 and MFC.

Focus is on simplicity of use (to draw more people to using subversion - also 
non-Unix-inclined developers), not feature-completeness, with a good GUI 
(hence Win32 specific since you can "jelly" the GUI more that way).

I'll dump an URL on the list once it's even remotely usable (if only as a 
diff tool).

Cheers, Martijn Boekhorst.
