Sorry for the double message, but I found another bug in the piston
switch subcommand. This warranted another patch release, or else it
would have been unusable.

=3D What is it ?

Piston is a utility that eases vendor branch management.
This is similar to <tt>svn:externals</tt>, except you have a local copy o= f
the files, which you can modify at will. As long as the changes are
mergeable, you should have no problems.

=3D What's changed ?

2007-03-09 1.3.2
* piston switch had a bad constant access which caused failures.

=3D Installation

sudo gem install --include-dependencies piston

Ok, say I have checked out code from some remote repo using piston in
"/vendor/plugins" directory of rails and have modified the plugin.
Now, I want to checkin these modifications to the remote repository,
so that other people can also get the new code.

So, how does piston solve this problem? can i checkin my plugin from
RAILS_ROOT, assuming RAILS_ROOT is associated with different SVN repo
and plugin has been downloaded from different svn repo?

Hello Francois!

It seems there are still some problems with switch:

here's what happens when i try to switch my rspec_on_rails plugin from
the 0_8_1 tag to the 0_8_2 tag:

zen% piston switch
