Plug-ins for Mercurial (Hg) and Git Now Available

13-Feb-2012 by Inflectra Product News

Using these plug-ins you can use SpiraPlan/SpiraTeam in conjunction with the popular Mercurial and Git distributed version control systems (DVCS). This allows you to browse Mercurial and Git repositories through the SpiraPlan/Team web interface and link changelists in either Mercurial or Git to SpiraPlan/Team artifacts.
See the SpiraPlan/Team Version Control Integration Guide for more details.

Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It offers you the power to efficiently handle projects of any size while using an intuitive interface. It is easy to use and hard to break, making it ideal for anyone working with versioned files.

Traditional version control systems such as Subversion are typical client-server architectures with a central server to store the revisions of a project. In contrast, Mercurial is truly distributed, giving each developer a local copy of the entire development history. This way it works independent of network access or a central server. Committing, branching and merging are fast and cheap.

Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.
