[subversive-dev] History/Compare with Each Other
Alexei,

Thanks for your patience - I think that you were clear, but that I missed the importance of the version of JavaHL and SVNKit.  My apologies!  As it turns out, I had two versions of each, and it was the behavior of the older version that was active.  After disabling the older version of each, it works as you describe.  It's very handy, too.

Thanks again,
Don

Hi Don,
 
may be I wasn't quite clear while writing the previous message (quote: "I must mention, that in your case the describer actions can be enabled, when the SVN 1.5 connector (Java HL 1.5.0 or SVN Kit 1.2.0) is selected in such conditions"), so I'll try again;).
 
To have a probability to compare two revisions of a project, you should select on the 'SVN Connector' tab group of 'Team->SVN' preference page SVN 1.5 compatible connector. After doing so, in both of your cases comparison of two folders (project is a folder, isn't it?:)) will be enabled.
 
Thanks for your interest.
 
Best regards, Alexei Goncharov.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.  What I'm talking about is the double selection cases where "Compare with each other" is disabled.  There are two that I'm aware of.

The first example is in the history list.  When I select a project and "Show History" for the whole project, I'd then like to be able to select two revisions in the history list, right-click, and select "Compare with each other."  This works when the history list list is for a single file, but not for a whole project.  When history is for the project, the "Compare with each other" menu option could then compare all differences between the two revisions, then display something similar to the team sync view, showing all the files that have changed between the two revisions, allowing the user to review file-by-file what's changed.

The second example is in the SVN Repositories view.  It'd be great to be able to select a trunk and a branch, or two branches, then right-click, then "Compare with each other."

In both cases "Compare with each other" is disabled, but would be useful features to have in some future version.

Hello Don,
 
The philosophy of all Subversive drop-down menus is to show all the actions, that can be available in some context, so that the user can always see what he can do in some cases from the view;).
 
So, talking particularly about History View, I must mention, that in your case the describer actions can be enabled, when the SVN 1.5 connector (Java HL 1.5.0 or SVN Kit 1.2.0) is selected in such conditions:
 
1. Single selection case.
    a) Compare with Each Other - disabled, cause where is Each and where is Other?:)
    b) Compare Current with <Rev Number> - compares the current state of your project in the working copy with the selected revision of your project.
    c) Compare with Previous - compares your project in the selected revision state and in previous to selected one.
 
2. Double selection case.
    a) Compare with Each Other - compares your project state in the selected revisions.
    b) Compares, enabled for single selection, are disabled:).
 
So that's the brief description of this menu part of the History View.
 
Best regards, Alexei Goncharov.

All,

I'm using the Eclipse Subversive plugin, looking at the History view for a project.  When I select two revisions, I can right-click and see the context menu, which contains a few Compare options, all grayed out.  Are these placeholders for future features?  I'm particularly interested in the Compare with Each Other option.  Or is should it be working now?  Just trying to find out the status.

Thanks,
Don
