Description

A very simple add-in for Delphi and C++ Builder IDE's (a.k.a Borland Developer Studio, a.k.a Turbo Delphi/C++, a.k.a. CodeGear RAD Studio).

This will add a menu with the most common TortoiseSVN commands to work with the current project files.
Current supported commands are:

• Log (project)
• Check modifications (project)
• Add (project)
• Update (project)
• Commit (project)
• Diff (current module files)
• Revert (project)
• Repository browser
• Settings
• About

This add-in is just to facilitate working with TortoiseSVN without leaving the IDE. It's not meant to be a fully-IDE-integrated VCS system.

If you own Borland Developer Studio or some of the Turbos you have other, more sofisticate alternatives to this add-in. For a free plugin that does not require TortoiseSVN (i.e. works directly with SVN) see the Subversion plugin for Borland Delphi.

Requirements

TortoiseSVN must be installed. The add-in was tested with versions 1.3 and 1.4

Usage tips - known issues

• The "update" and "revert" commands are a bit tricky. You may need to reload your editor files after you use them.
• All commands (except "diff") are project-based. This is to avoid over-populating the menu with two versions of every command (file and project).

Binaries - installation

The add-in builds and installs as a Delphi package. As there exist many versions of IDE's it's recommended that you create your own package for your particular environment.

For Delphi/C++Builder 5 you can get prebuilt binaries (check the "bin" folder in the file section).

It's also possible to build the add-in as a DLL (see the readme files for details).

Source code - compiling

The main source file is available here. You will also need this resource file. You just need to create a package project, add the main source file, build and install.

If you use Delphi 5 you can get already-made project files (check the "src" folder in the file section).

The add-in uses the "new" Open Tools API, so it compiles in Delphi 4 and above.
It can be easily (at least I think so) converted to C++ and compiled in C++ Builder, if necessary.

Comments

The first add-in version (made with the "old" Open tools API) is still available just in case you want it. Check "src/oldOTA" and "bin/oldOTA" in the file section.

It is known to work in all Delphi versions up to 7.
