SVN for LN... virtual file system =(

HelloI’m trying to use SVN. There is problem - virtual file system. Why LN doesn’t use standart file system? Do you have any suggetions about my problem? Are you going to fix this problem?

Subject: SVN and NSF files => binaries

What do you mean by virtual file system ?

I use SVN to do versioning on my notes applications almost every day and it works.

If I remember well you may have to add a document type into the SVN Server configuration to tell the SVN server to handle nsf files as binaries. I don’t remember exactly what are the steps to do this but Google will probably help you… :wink:

The only thing to know is that you’ll have to store them as binaries => no diff can be made and you cannot check-in or check-out design elements inside the database only the whole db.

You can do check-in and check-out on design elements with teamstudio software called Ciao!.

Check here http://www.teamstudio.com/products/ciao.html for more details. But of course, this software is not free.

Subject: we have an active initiative to address this

We do need a virtual file system to represent a single file as a collection of files to Eclipse. We could theoretically make local copies of files - we investigated that in our initial prototyping, but that had a serious performance and maintainability cost and the virtual file system is a full fledged feature of Eclipse. It would be great if other venders were virtual file system friendly, and in many cases add in plugins do support the VFS, but sadly none of the source control systems we’ve found so far. We are working on a solution to bridge that gap, but it is not yet ready for release.
