SVN Source Code Manager,
Family Dollar has implemented SVN and about sixty percent of projects within
the organization currently uses this repository to maintain source code for
object-oriented applications. However, the remaining forty percent of source
code within the organization cannot use SVN because the code is for
non-object-oriented applications ; hence a single file, not a project needs to
be checked in and out of the repository. So my question is: Are you aware of a
client that could be used to checkout and checkin a single file to the SVN
repository and maintain the version number of the source code that is checked
in? If not, do you know if SVN has the single file checkout and checkin
feature?
We do the same thing for the database SQL scripts, stored procedure code, and
various one-off Perl programs. Source control systems like SVN (or Git) don't
really lend themselves directly to this type of object. We do use SVN, but
layered a lot of process on top of it to keep ourselves somewhat sane.
I can imagine someone could build a nice single-file revision control system on
top of SVN, but it would require a new type of client that would hide the
directory revisioning from the user.
