IDEABKL-295 add SSPI access method for CVS Major Open


 Description  « Hide
http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=38052
Is it possible to support external binaries for CVS clients, so we can take advantage of the extra features which CVSNT gives us? (E.g. mergepoints, so merging branches becomes so much easier)
Or will you implement the CVSNT extras in your own CVS implementation?
These are very important aspects for our development and are currently reason for discussion about moving to Eclipse.

From the top of my head, here are the two most important CVSNT features, that I'd love to see IDEA taking advantage of (in order of importance):
  • Full versioned renames
  • MergePoints
  • SSPI authentication

Other nice features include:

  • :ssh: authentication
  • remote user administration (cvs passwd)
  • atomic checkouts
  • enforce unix linefeeds (-kL keyword)
