Description ulfzibis 2008-08-14 19:51:46 UTC
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

As svn update is not the same than svn revert, I am missing "Update
to revision".
See discussion here (line 23):

Comment 1 ulfzibis 2008-08-26 09:42:26 UTC
Workaround (copied from Peter Pis):
Select desired context and invoke "Subversion | Switch to" action. Enter the same "Repository Folder" and fill required
"Repository Revision".

... also 'Revert' solves some of "Update to revision"-functionality. It's comfortable to have these nice dialogues with
extended functionality. :-)

... but what's about the new user, who is coming from Subversion command line client or other SVN-tools such as TSVN. He
really lacks of a standard "Update to revision"-functionality.
Comment 2 ulfzibis 2008-08-26 11:14:02 UTC
It took me some time, to get the difference between "Update to revision" and "Revert to revision".
(revert merges local changes (hopefully NetNeans too), but update overwrites them)

Inexperienced users might erroneously use "Revert to revision" as "Update to revision", and then would be flooded with
unexpected merge conflicts.
Looking behind "Switch to" is not obvious for versioning beginners (e.g. which don't have experience with branching, so
they "grey out" the "Switch to"-option on their radar).
Comment 3 Tomas Stupka 2008-08-26 14:33:15 UTC
maybe we should provide an Update to revision action. Using switch seems more like a workaround and isn't that obvious
