It is already in the preview release we've just published, although we expect to make some minor changes before the official release.<BR/><BR/>Right now, suppose you have a "default" repository and you want to replicate its main branch into another rep (on the same server). You would do something like:<BR/><BR/>$ cm replicate br:/main@rep:default@repserver:localhost:8084 rep:second@repserver:localhost:8084 <BR/><BR/>Which will replicate br:/main into the "second" rep.<BR/><BR/>The same command works between separate servers, so YES, you could use it to have your own server on your laptop and work disconnected, but this is just one of the possible scenarios.<BR/><BR/>And yes, plastic doesn't only replicate, it can also "reconcile" changes, even if the same branch has been modified at the same time on two different repositories.<BR/><BR/>The new replication system is one of the powerful features included in 2.0, and we're still trying to figure out how to make its use simpler, specially introducing GUI support, because right now we only have command line.Pablo Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083682682597484025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27232680.post-54066934350920471452008-01-03T19:09:00.000+01:002008-01-03T19:09:00.000+01:00Hello,Seems interesting.

Or do you have to be attached to the remote server. I find very few SCMs that purport to be distributed but lack the ability to simply clone a repository on your laptop. Take a trip and while traveling make commits locally that you can later push once you have a connection.<BR/><BR/>SeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
