Using subversion for slide version control

[John Byrne <jo...@propylon.com>]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how (or if it's possible) to use Subversion to handle 
the automatic version control in Slide? I know Apache mod_dav uses 
Subversion, but we'd prefer to use Slide because of the indexing and 
DASL support.

Also, what are the main differences between the "deltaV" version control 
in Slide and Subversion? Any info on either of these questions would be 
great.

Many thanks in advance!

John Byrne

That's a misunderstanding. mod_dav doesn't *use* subversion out of the 
box. mod_dav has an API that allows replacing its internal file system 
store by something else, and that's what subversion does.

As far as I can tell, the same *could* be done in Slide (ignoring the 
language mismatch), but I don't think that exists. And if it would be 
done, you probably would loose the indexing/DASL support.

Subversion doesn't really implement DeltaV (as per RFC3253) -- only a 
minimal subset plus lots of custom extensions.
