Description zuhans 2005-02-27 09:38:43 UTC

hello steve benigan (i hope these lines reach you),

recently i tried - as bloody beginner - to use
subversion for my until now "normal" nb-projects.
but i failed so much, that i still work in
"normal" mode.

so here is my wish:
- either should there be help-buttons in the
different screens, when using any subversion
commands. very helpful would have been a ranking:
first do that, then ...
- or (best) there should be a kind of wizard: if i
right-click a project there should be a
possibility to "save to cvs/subversion" or
similar. and then it should guide me - so as if i
didn't know anything - through the steps.

it should be easy to save a whole project (all the
needed files) to a repository and get it back even
when there isn't any repository set up until this
time.

well, christmas is far away but... ;-)

greetings
hans
