Do I have to set up a server to use Superversion?

No. With any version (1.x or 2.x), you can create local projects that are stored in a repository on your hard disk. You can also export a local project to a server at any point.

What is the login for a newly created server / server project?

It's "admin" with an empty password in both cases. You should obviously change this as quickly as possible.

Can I continue working on a remote project without a server connection?

With some restrictions, yes. You can access all report and update functions, provided that the data they need has already been downloaded. (Use "Download all data" while you are still connected if unsure.) Commits from the current state are always possible. The new state will receive a number in parentheses, e.g. "(1.24)". This indicates that the assigned number is preliminary. The next time you connect to the server, all new states and the data they contain will be uploaded. This will assign a permanent number that may differ from the temporary one.

What keywords does Superversion support?

If you check "Enable keyword replacement" in the Work Area menu, Superversion will detect and replace these keywords in your text files:

  • $Revision$ - Revision of current file (ID of state in which file was last changed)
  • $RCSfile$ - Name of current file
  • $Source$ - Path and name of current file
  • $Date$ - Date of last change
