Changelists

[John Griffin <Jo...@pwgsc.gc.ca>]

Hi All,

I am new to the list and I am new to svn. I did some searching in the archives but could not find the answer I was looking for. I am a former Perforce user. One of the features I liked in Perforce was the ability to manage multiple changelists as a single user. For example, if I was working on multiple changes I could manage each set of related files under a different changelist and commit the changes at different times. My question is, does svn provide this functionality? If it does how do I access it? If it does not how is this scenario handled using svn?

John

There's no direct analog in Subversion, although there's nothing to keep 
you from grouping your changes and committing them in separate commits 
yourself.

For example, assuming you have edits to foo.c, bar.c and baz.c and you 
want to have two separate changes, one with foo.c and bar.c and the 
other with baz.c you would just commit them via 'svn commit foo.c bar.c' 
and 'svn commit baz.c'.

If they're distinct and independent changes, you might want to work on them 
in separate sandboxes, allowing each to be tested independently of the 
other.
