FileManager: Version Control Browsing
dmoore:
20 hours of my life I'm not getting back... not sure whether it's useful or not but I've been building up the infrastructure to let users browse the commit history of their version control system. For now, It only works properly with git and is very bare boned.
Apply the attached path to C::B sources, build C::B + file manager plugin and run C::B. Flip to the "files" tab, enable git decorators (right click on an item in the tab then look under settings in the popup):
Then navigate to a folder that's under Git version control. That will show a wxChoice box, click it and choose "Select Commit"
Which will let you browse your commits.
Select one and click on the "Use Selected Commit" button and you should be able to browse the tree for that commit and open the files in C::B (they are saved to a temp folder)
Obviously still needs a ton of work and has a bunch of silly bugs. The intent is to be able to support browsing of GIT, SVN, HG and BZR (and hopefully then you'll all see how shitty SVN is and we can switch to GIT!!) and do nice things like search and diff views.
See last post for the current patch.
killerbot:
cool, please also add support for svn ;-)

New patch attached supporting both GIT and SVN. This one updates the windows project file (but not the wx3.0 files) but hasn't been tested. GIT/SVN must be in the system path for the feature to work correctly.

Very nice... :D

New patch. Crushes a bunch of bugs and implements browsing for Bazaar and Mercurial. Plan to add support for searching commits by name or revision, viewing diffs etc.
But more generally, having now played around with a few different VCS systems, I think I can see how to integrate support for all of them throughout C::B. So, for example, when you have a file open in an editor that's under a VCS, you will be able to see options to see its VCS status, history, and diffs. The same goes for files in the project tree.
