[ANN] Scmproj 0.5 released

[Paul Harris]

Hi Alexander,

I love the sound of scmproj, I could see myself using it.   One concern I
have is portability of my information.  I have moved from CVS to MCVS to
darcs to bzr... And I can continue to move to hg or git if need be...   But
If I start to use scmproj, can I export/migrate my data to git-subprojects
or something similar?   Or will I be stuck?

As a side-note,
I currently have a system where I keep ALL my projects in one repo, and I
have a subdirectory called eg 20090601 where I put all the branches for
components in there (including eg the boost sources), for a 'stream' of
development.  I can check out all the branches in that subdirectory into
another repo (with trees) and do the work in there...   If I do a major
release of my app that relies on certain versions of libraries, then I start
again with a new subdirectory in the main repo with a new date.   Extra
branches are cheap as theres a lot of shared history.

It works, but less than optimal.  And should be portable to other versioning
systems like git, since its an explicit versioning system.

thanks,
Paul

>  * ``project-info`` now shows the info on components and subprojects.
>   (Bug #313166)
>  * ``project-command --shell`` can run shell commands for each component
>   instead of bzr ones. (Bug #349069)
>  * ``project-command --varN XXX``: new command-line options ``--var1``,
>   ``--var2`` and ``--var3`` allows user to specify additional template
>   variables for substitution in commands templates. (Bug #489722)
