How to delete the HAD revision.
Hi, I made some mistakes in the latest revision and would like to remove it from the repository. Is this possible from within Versions? I do not want to do it from the command line. thanks Jose -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.

Re: A way to branch from a previous revision?
Hi PDG, To do this, it's easiest to browse the repository in Versions. So select your repository (not your working copy) in the bookmarks list on the left, on the right go to the "Browse" view, and at the top- right of the window find the "Revision:" pop-up button. Click "Browse other revision…", type 144 in the textfield, and click in the table below it. You should see revision 144 selected at the top of the table view after a little while. Now click the "Select" button at the bottom of that dialog. You're now browsing revision 144, you'll also see that the pop-up that you clicked on initially says "144" now. You can now, while holding the "option" key on your keyboard, drag the trunk folder to your branches folder, give this branch a name and boom: you have created your new 3.0 branch from revision 144. Select "HEAD (Most Current)" again from the "Revision:" pop-up button when you're done, now select the new branch in the Browse view and you can check out a fresh working copy of your new 3.0 branch. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask them here, or if you need a response urgently, send them to our support team at versi...@madebysofa.com.

Re: Using Word's built-in compare tool?
Hi Jon, Welcome to the group! There's no built in feature in Versions to use Word's native document comparison, but because you can make your own custom comparison scripts, it is absolutely possible to make this work. I've made a script just like that some time ago, that will use Word to compare Word files, and Kaleidoscope for everything else a little while ago. You can find the script here, along with instructions to use it: https://gist.github.com/980499#comments It's been a while since I tried this, but I'm pretty sure this will work with the current release of Word, and the current release of Versions. I don't think Mac Word has a three-up view, or if it does, I've never been able to find it. The script should open up the documents together, highlighting the changes though. One thing you may also want to try on the Mac is Kaleidoscope, Sofa's (our) file comparison app, see www.kaleidoscopeapp.com. It can compare Word files, but strips all formatting before it compares them as plain text. I like it myself for Word comparisons, mostly because comparisons open a lot faster than Word can manage, but if you have a lot of inline graphs or illustrations, or if the formatting is important to your comparisons, it probably won't be as good for you. There's a 30-day trial available on the site, so make sure you give it a try.

Using Word's built-in compare tool?
Can Versions be set up to use Microsoft Word's native "Review > Compare" facility? With TortoiseSVN on Windows, I can show the log of a Word document, select two revisions and choose "Compare revisions" from the context menu. This brings up Word's three-pane view with panes called "Original", "Revised", and "Compared Document". My boss is using Versions on the Mac, and comparing iterations of Word manuscripts is the main thing he should be doing. Any help in getting this to work would be highly appreciated.
