Re: [Svnci-developer] Subversion and RPG source change management

I agree, but if we are trying to make this work for PDM/SEU users as well, 
then it is a bit harder to do that.

I don't even see that data in WDSC, but it is a key piece of information 
that should not be lost for PDM/SEU users.

What is the added value of keeping the "change date area" in the source if
you have Subversion to inspect your source differences?
See how easy it is in RDI to click "Compare with: Base revision" or 
others.
If you get used to that, you'll never get back on the "change date area".
