version control integration
by tommi uimonen on Wednesday 09/Aug/2006, @09:42

I would love to see version control integration done in the same way as M$ Visual Studio and Visual SourceSafe do it.

From the file view you can check out/in files and editor even asks whether to check out the file if it was not checked out and you start editing it.

And this behaviour should be independent of the versioning system in use. So cvs, svn and others would all share the same common way of checking in/out easily. (Of course there are other tasks specific to each vcs, but all share this check out/in mechanism and that is the most commonly used action anyway)

Also quick way to diff the local version to the latest version should be easily accessible.
