Hi :)
This seems a great idea! I put most of my stuff in svn and edit most of it
with kate so it would be a match made in heaven.
I personally use a mix of command-line svn and eSvn. esvn is pretty simple,
but gets the job done.
Also, esvn parses the output of subversion, and I currently have to run it
with a wrapper script because it expects something that has changed in the
latest svn version, so I would venture that using a library would be much
better.
Finally, I think esvn also uses some kind of timer (by me experience I think
it's 5-10 seconds) to check for new info; but I think that as you suggest
watching the svn control directory for changes would be much better -- less
cpu wakeups and it should react faster to changes.
As for git and cvs, I don't really use them so I wouldn't know :)

Hi,<br>
<br>
I've been thinking about an overambitious project I'm looking into, and<br>
that's to have markers in the icon border showing which lines have been<br>
added/edited/deleted since the last cvs/git/svn commit. For example, see<br>
the green and blue things on the side of this screenshot of netbeans:<br>
<a href="http://www.collab.net/collabXchange/NetBeans/images/svn.gif" \
target="_blank">http://www.collab.net/collabXchange/NetBeans/images/svn.gif</a><br> <br>
Integrating it with the KateIconBorder seems easy enough. I haven't<br>
looked into the rest of the nitty gritty stuff yet. I'd like to hear<br>
what you think about these questions:<br>
<br>
1. Do I use cervisia or kdesvn? They both seem like separate projects.<br>
Is it going to be worth my time to try and use them? Also, I'm going to<br>
want git support in there too. I'd have to write something brand new for<br>
git.<br>
2. Do I use cvs/svn/git libraries or command line tools? If I use<br>
libraries, how does this work when using/compiling kate when those ones<br>
aren't available? Am I better off writing a wrapper around the command<br>
line binaries cvs, svn, git? Or should it be some dynamic library<br>
loading thing?<br>
3. To keep things up to date, regular calls to "cvs/svn/git status" will<br>
have to be made to see if a commit has been done in the background.<br>
Should this be done on a one second timer or something? An alternative<br>
for svn is to check the .svn/text-base directory for changes, since the<br>
commit will update a file in there, so I can use inotify/kdirwatch or<br>
something.<br>
<br>
If I don't get horribly demotivated and actually pull this off, I could<br>
continue to add more functions, but one step at a time!<br>
<br>
Thanks for your thoughts & comments,<br>
Will<br>
