Just a small SVN tip to close the year. Did you know, that if you have a feature branch and you reintegrate it into the trunk, TortoiseSVN makes a nice summary of the revision comments of the branch and puts it under your Recent comments button in the Commit dialog?

Here’s the procedure:

• Go to the trunk, reintegrate the desired branch.
• Open the project / solution in the trunk in your IDE, and rebuild and test if everything works as expected.
• Commit the trunk, click Recent messages.
• Even though you did not type anything, there’s a ready-to-use message, starting with “Merged revision(s) aaa-bbb …” etc. Double click it.

• Click OK.

Happy holidays everyone!
