How does SVN 1.8 merging compare with DVCS like Git & Mercurial? -


i asked question 3 years ago: how and/or why merging in git better in svn?

back think on svn 1.6 we've reached 1.8 , seems merging 1 area they've done substantial work on.

so in light of these changes, has svn 1.8 caught better merging , branching support in dvcs git?

svn 1.8 seem have advanced things 'reingtegration' being automatic action. don't have dance keep branch alive after it's been merged more.

these real annoyances me, , it's they're gone.

the thing svn merging seems have problems handling of mergeinfo records. if you're not aware, these properties added points in tree when merge done. record versions ancestors of merged version, when merge done changes in versions aren't re-merged.

unfortunately svn seems confused , i've see apply changes multiple times. think there's fundamental flaw way records it's merged, i've never been able work out what's gone wrong.

fact branching , merging afterthought , low priority feature svn, whereas it's fundamental feature of dvcss. branching works in svn, i've used quite heavily. it's better vcs. don't think ever work quite branching in dvcs.

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
