Subclipse

This is an eclipse plugin for the cvs replacement, subversion. Instructions on installing this in eclipse can be found at:

Some open source projects are starting to host their applications on subversion as opposed to cvs. Some compelling reasons for this are:

  • True atomicity of commits - commits are not effective until the entire commit has succeeded.
  • Revision numbers are on a per commit basis as opposed to a per file basis.
  • Directories are versioned.
  • Renaming files/directories causes versioning.
