[superversion] Beta 5

[Stefan R. <do...@dr...>]

A week passed without a Superversion release? Not so!

New features in Beta 5, released yesterday:

* Individual files can be commented. The idea is that you comment a file 
immediately after you changed it. It is then marked as "Commented". When you 
edit the file again, the "Commented" marker disappears, indicating that you 
should probably update the comment. When you are ready for committing the 
next change set, the file comments can guide you in writing the change set 
description. Note that this procedure is completely optional; if you don't 
want to use file comments, just ignore the comment column and you won't be 
bothered.

* There is a history-wide fulltext search. The user interface is still 
somewhat rough, and searching can take a while. Even though, I think this can 
be a handy tool at times. The search result window even shows you when the 
search pattern first appeared in a file as well as when it disappeared 
(because the file was changed or deleted)!

* You can export individual files in the state inspector. So far, the only way 
to do this was to use copy&paste or the zip export function.

* Binary files are handled better in conflicts; Superversion just reports an 
unsolvable conflict and no longer tries to merge the files (which would only 
result in digital garbage).
