Keep the good work Ayende! http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment8http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment8Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:48:11 GMTI am working on that as in _work_. Not off my own free time. http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment7http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment7Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:21:59 GMTMy favorite chapter in the book Beautiful Code is about the subversion diff engine. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in how subversion works internally. http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment6http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment6Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:39:13 GMTI'm kind of surprised you started working on this project. Considering that you've been talking lately about "zero friction", I figured that anything that made it difficult to contribute code would simply be tossed aside. Since your tool of choice is Subversion, and there are many open source hosting providers out there (SourceForge, GoogleCode, etc.) that use Subversion, it would seem that if there was a project that you wanted to contribute to that didn't have native SVN support, that you'd either try to convince them to switch providers, or decide it wasn't worth the hassle. Lately I've seen many projects start on CodePlex and end up moving their code to GoogleCode simply because they wanted native Subversion support. So just curious, what made you start using CodePlex and tackle SvnBridge? http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment5http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment5Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:26:59 GMTThanks for the heads up on this project. Now there is _finally_ a way for out analysts etc. to get to artefacts in TFS. IMHO, this plugs a big hole in TFS. http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment4http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment4Mon, 03 Mar 2008 07:47:13 GMTGreat to hear you're working on this, Oren. I use it for 2 pet projects I host on CodePlex, and have found it absolutely priceless, given that I don't have access to TFS. Thanks for contributing to this open source project. http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment3http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment3Sat, 01 Mar 2008 21:06:33 GMTActually, there isn't much. The main issue is that SVN is all about diffs, and TFS is all about state at a point in time. This is over simplifying a bit, but it is a good description. Once you get over that, the challenge become taking a state in time and translating that to a diff. SVN diff's approach is not just for the files, it is for the entire structure. Right now the challenge that I am facing is that you may have multiply source points to a single destination. That turns out to be fairly hard. http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment2http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment2Sat, 01 Mar 2008 19:09:25 GMTGreat to hear that you're working on this! I imagine there are a lot of *interesting* problems to solve in translating between protocols and modes of operation. http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment1http://ayende.com/3171/codeplexs-svnbridge#comment1Sat, 01 Mar 2008 18:36:26 GMT
