Version Control (Revision #43)

New zoomed screenshot Repo Browser

The greatest enhancement to version control in Aqua Data Studio 7 is the addition of the Repository Browser. This allows you to view all of the contents and history of a repository—even if you do not have a full copy on your local drive. Revisions, branches and tags are all displayed in their latest versions and you have the option to filter through large lists quickly and easily. The history table even lets you open and compare individual items. The “Repo” browser works efficiently in a background thread so that you can continue using Aqua Data Studio’s other tools while repository information is being retrieved.

Subversion (SVN)

The Subversion (SVN) Repository Browser points to the repository root when launched and offers an in-depth, explorable view of all of the files in a repository without requiring a local version of its content. The repository is displayed as a tree where action can be taken on individual items, or they can simply be viewed. The History table within the Repository Browser allows opening and  comparing of individual items by way of a popup menu. Tree content is obtained with a background thread so that Aqua Data Studio’s other tools can be used while information from the repository is being retrieved. In the Affected Paths display, unrelated changed paths can be hidden.
