Duration: One hourPatrick EganPaul BurbaBob Jenkins

Patrick Egan, Publisher, Agile Journal


Subversion, the industry’s leading version control tool, has numerous features that are critical to enterprises like yours. The appropriate use of those features can make a lot of difference in the success and return on investment an enterprise gets from Subversion.

Most enterprises find themselves with multiple lines of development in process simultaneously that need isolation. The logical way to accomplish that isolation is through branching, but the need for isolation is normally short lived before the work needs to be merged with changes made on other lines of development. That means merging. Of course you want to know what has been merged to what and you want the tool to facilitate subsequent merges by utilizing that knowledge as well. That means merge tracking.

This webcast will be looking at best practices around merging and merge tracking. It will be assumed that the participant already knows what both of these features are and from a high level how Subversion logs merge tracking data. The webcast will dig deeper looking at:

  • The different types of mergeinfo
  • When is mergeinfo not considered or recorded
  • Why you should be using 1.6.9 clients today
  • What’s coming with 1.7.0 for merge and mergeinfo

CollabNet has been the primary commercial sponsor of Subversion since its inception, as well as the leader in helping enterprises deploy Subversion. This depth of experience together with the technical knowledge of the implementation of merge tracking gives CollabNet the ability to share merging best practices that have worked for other enterprises.

Attend this Webcast if you want to:

  • Learn more about Subversion merging and merge tracking
  • Understand how the functionality has been improved
  • Implement merging best practices
