Hi, On scid's sourceforge website (http://sourceforge.net/projects/scid) you can see, scroll down a bit, the "project feed:" A list of recent patches to the repository. The patches are nicely numbered, and I was wondering what could be behind the list.
The concept suggests more than plain CVS can do for you, and using my (cervisia) CVS client I cannot find any trace of these patches. Each file has its own private history, which is nice and necessary, but imho clearly not sufficient. This is also the reason why I always vote for using SVN (subversion), which works in terms of tree revisions. Underneath there is - of course - file version management, but that is only to save disk space, so to speak. Within SVN patches can really be associated to any number of files that were updated as a single impartible (sort of, and if the developer behaves well...) action. Now the question: Is this patch list a bit of a brag, or is there something that sourceforge adds to plain-CVS that we somehow did not enable? Note that the patches in the list all link to the root of the repository tree display. They do not carry even the commit text description. They tell us "something" has changed "then" by "him/her"; but not what or why. Or does the patch list simply assume that a projects uses SVN (sourceforge supports it, of course), in which case the concept of a patch could really be meaningful...
