KDevelop 4/VCS Integration

From KDevelop

< KDevelop 4

[edit] Major Goals

The main goal is to have tighter integration of the VCS into the IDE, this includes

1. react on changes to projects, refactoring etc.
2. allow for creation of projects from VCS repository
3. extended diffing

[edit] Extension Interface

The following things are needed for an extension interface for version control system. Also the plugin should provide a repository browser toolview. The actual functions need to be project-agnostic, i.e. take the project to work on as parameter, if needed.

1. slots for the filemanager-interface signals, like fileRenamed, fileMoved...
2. methods for diff to head, diff to specific revision
3. log extraction
4. checkout specific revision of a file/folder for display or application to the checkout file
5. checkout/import of projects
6. conflict editing using external tools like kdiff3
