WorkBench for Subversion

Getting started

Setup a Project

WorkBench requires you to create a Project for each of the subversion repositories that you wish to work on.

From the Action menu select Project Add to start the Add Project Wizard.

Checkout the source files

After the Add project wizard has setup a new project for you checkout the sources.

Select the project on the tree control and then select the menu Action Checkout.

Working with files

The Action menu will list all the commands that apply to the selected item in the tree control or the list control. You can also Right-Click (Ctrl-Click on the Mac) to get a pop-up menu.

Adding TAGs to the History command

WorkBench can optionally add the names of TAGs to the history command output.

Note: WorkBench uses the revision of the TAG to work out where in the history list the TAG should be shown. This works very well if TAGs are created from the HEAD of trunk.

Setup a project to list TAGs

1. Select the project name
2. Right-Click (Ctrl-Click on the Mac) on the project and choose the Update Project menu item.
3. If the subversion repositories has TAGs check the Enable next to Subversion Tags URL. WorkBench will fill in the typical TAGs URL. Edit the URL if the repository uses different conventions.
4. Click OK
