Good overview tool / board for visualizing Subversion branch acitivity?
- by Sam
Our team is sometimes finding it a bit confusing and time-consuming to figure out which subversion operations have been perrformed on our different branches in Subversion.
Example, when has the Development branch last been merged into the Trunk? When was this particular Tag created, based on what branch etc etc.
All of this information can of course be extracted from the Subversion Log, but thats always a manual, time-consuming and error-prone process.
Simplest solution seems to be a simple whiteboard with a visualization of all the different branches/tags/trunk in Subversion and people drawing on it, whenever something significant happens. But we're not averse to finding some kind of a digital solution as well, stored centrally. Obviously both systems depend on people actually maintaining the model, but you'll always more or less have that.
What do you use as best practice for keeping a clear view on all Subversion operations in the current Sprint (or beyond)?
