9GeanyVC is plugin that provides a uniform way of accessing the different
10version-control systems inside Geany IDE. Only small subset of vc is
11implemented, but, hey, you don't need anything besides diff, log, status,
12revert and commit most time.

53Usage
54-----
55
56*Activation*
57^^^^^^^^^^^^
58
59After compiling and/or installing GeanyVC, start Geany and go to
60menu Tools->Plugin Manager and activate the checkbox at GeanyVC.
61
62*Configuration*
63^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
64
65Using Geany's plugin configuration dialog, you can change some
66options of behavior of plugin.
67
68*Change flag for document tabs created with pluging*
69++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
70
71If this option is activated, every new by the GeanyVC created
72document tab will be marked as changed. This will cause Geany to ask
73you whether you want to save when closing the document.
74
75Even thus this option is useful in some cases, it could cause a big
76number of sometimes annoying "Do you want to save"-dialogs.
77
78*Confirm adding new files to a VCS*
79+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
80
81Shows a confirmation dialog on adding a new (created) file to VCS.
82If not set you will not see dialog "Do you want to add <file>?" and
83GeanyVC will add the file without any further questioning.
84
85*Maximize commit dialog*
86++++++++++++++++++++++++
87
88If this option is activated, commit dialog will fit the full size of your
89monitor. If it is not set commit dialog size will be 700x500.
90
91*Use external diff viewer*
92++++++++++++++++++++++++++
93
94If this option is activated and you have **meld**, **kompare**,
95**kdiff3**, **diffuse** or **tkdiff** available from command line,
96one of these program will be used to show differences for "Diff From
97Current File" command.
98
99*Enable CVS/GIT/SVN/SVK/Bazaar/Fossil/Mercurial*
100++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
101
102GeanyVC detects if opened file is in version control by checking
103directories and executing commands from version control systems
104toolchain. These options disable checking for particular version
105control system.
106
107Disabling not required ones can speed up things. So it is
108recommended to activate e.g. svk only if you want to use it.
