[This is a one-off and we will not post this again on this list] Following the announcement<http://www.wandisco.com/php/pr.php?rss=0&prdate=2010-12-20>by WANdisco yesterday that we would undertake the work to fix / improve branching and merging in Subversion; we are on the lookout for new Subversion developers to complement our existing team. If you (or someone you know) have what it takes feel free to email me or careers {a.t} WAndisco . com. We are looking to hire a large number of new developers. Also, contact us if you would just like to donate some of your own time.
I would also say that this work will be completed both *for* and as *part of * the *community*. I have tried to answer questions surrounding this on my blog<http://blogs.wandisco.com/2010/12/20/shaking-up-subversion-by-listening-to-the-user-community-and-then-committing-to-do-the-work/>. Any questions or concerns feel free to email me directly. Highlights of the proposed improvements include: - Enhanced Subversion merge performance, with features such as allowing users to take all of the changes committed on one branch and replay them on another - Subversion rename tracking to eliminate tree conflicts during merges when file names change - Improve correctness of 'SVN blame - g' to make it possible to follow complete merge history and trace authors of merged code - Improve 'SVN import' to better manage branches. - Make Authz architecture more granular similar to Unix filesystem permissions. - Repository-dictated configuration. -- Regards, David Richards President & CEO WANdisco, Inc. http://www.wandisco.com http://blog.wandisco.com/david/ Free Online Subversion Training http://svn.wandisco.com/eTraining Join the Open Source Subversion Community http://svn.wandisco.com/eCommunity Read our blogs! http://blogs.wandisco.com/ Follow us on Twitter http://svn.wandisco.com/eTwitter Join us on facebook! http://svn.wandisco.com/eFacebook THIS MESSAGE AND ANY ATTACHMENTS ARE CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY, AND MAY BE PRIVILEGED.
