The IDE interacting with version control systems
The IAR Embedded Workbench IDE can identify and access any files that are in a Subversion (SVN) working copy, see Interacting with Subversion.
From within the IDE you can connect an IAR Embedded Workbench project to an external SVN project, and perform some of the most commonly used operations.
To connect your IAR Embedded Workbench project to a version control system, you should be familiar with the version control client application you are using.
Note
Some of the windows and dialog boxes that appear when you work with version control in the IDE originate from the version control system and are not described in the documentation from IAR. For information about details in the client application, refer to the documentation supplied with that application.
Note
Different version control systems use different terminology even for some of the most basic concepts involved. You must keep this in mind when you read the descriptions of the interaction between the IDE and the version control system.
