I read on the nug list that there were some macros that v11 allowed one to script directly to the command line on save and with certain actions, giving you the ability to write a script wrapper to the svn command line. I think I read someone was doing that, or trying it. Obviously only for methods since the rest of the application design environment is still, IMO, in the dark ages and can't interface with modern configuration management tools.
svn and git work great with a4d, of course. Just use the unfuddle server repos. We're still using our own svn server running locally on a server here for the paranoid. We wrote a couple of scripts that post-commit issue fixes and commits to the unfuddle rest API in the project we use. As far as using svn with 4D, what we do is version the entire structure (still using 2004) and do as much coding outside of 4D as possible (with A4D). When we make structure and method changes in 4D, we note them and commit the structure. That will work with unfuddle, but it requires some diligence in recording what happened when since certain A4D files won't work with certin revs of the structure. Maybe this is a better application for git since it revs the entire project every time. Still looking for a report manager that let's us create interactive reports (field selections, titles, etc.) at runtime that will display to the browser screen and can be printed, exported and PDF'd. If anyone has other suggestions from experience or otherwise, I'd appreciate hearing it. This has just got to be a problem that has been solved over and over again, right?
