[MonoDevelop] VersionControl Questions

[Paul Lange]

Hello,

I'm working on a Bazaar extension to the VersionControl plugin.

Basic file status indication works (more or less) but I have some
questionsregarding VC development:

    * How is the addin notices of a changes file. I found the method
NotifyFileChanged(string path) in the Repository class. Anyhow I'm not
sure if this method is called if a file has been changed in MonoDevelop.

    * The method GetPathToBaseText (string localFile) returns a path to
the last version of the file updated from the repository. This is
possible with subversion where such a file is stored. Accessing this
file is not easy/possible with bazaar. For what is this method needed?

    * The comments of the method void Update (string localPath, bool
recurse, IProgressMonitor monitor); say that it returns a list of
updated files. If so, how is this done.

    * If I open a bzr-controlled project with monodevelop and open the
solutionpad-context-menu the first time I get a bunch of errors like
this. How can I avoid that?
