Can historical management be simulated with a SVN?
Introduction:
Hello, basically what i need to do is to simulate historical management
(in the terms of DB historical management) for a set of files, containing
compilable and executable pieces of code.
Explanations:
In DB historical management an object consists of its states, which are
determined by the dates of the actual modification. Then the object can be
fetched at given date along with the information that is current for that
given date. This is the behavior that I am trying to implement for the
files that I am going to execute. Since the most natural way of persisting
the project files is via a SVN product, It crossed my mind that it may be
possible that such feature is already implemented in Subversion or other
Version Control System. What i need is - by a given date and may be a
request to the svn server, to receive the "right" version (according to
the date) of the document that I am keeping track to.
The question:
Currently I am using Subversion and TortoiseSVN, but I am not familiar
with the advanced featured and seek some help here. Can I retrieve a file
version stored within my SVN from my java code?
Any help will be appreciated, Regards,
Milen
