SVK: A distributed version control system based on SVN

Post by cybersphinx »

Quite handy to keep track of local changes, manage different branches etc.

I first tought you ment to move the wz repository to SVK, but it is just a way to have local version control.
svn diff and patch work fine for me, so I'll stick to that.

Yeah, it's a local layer over SVN, not a replacement. Very useful to work on different features at once and keeping them separate.

Even if you don't use its branching features, it keeps the complete SVN history in its local repository, so you can check out any number of local trees or older revisions quickly without having to transfer everything over the network again and again.
