Original Title was: Automatically create a commit when publishing/republishing a workbench to Server


The current version control implementation in FME Server is pretty good. I'd like to see it integrated into the FME Desktop publishing workflow too. If you have enabled version control on the FME Server, it would be nice if each publish/republish from FME Desktop automatically resulted in a commit. That would require allowing the user to enter a commit message somewhere in the publish/republish dialog boxes.

This would be great - so whenever 1-4 persons works on and uploads the same workspace to server it can check if you have the latest workspace downloaded - and upload only if it is newer. In that way if someone else have uploaded a version before you downloaded it, then you have to download their version and "merge changes" manually before uploading again.

Correct me if I'm wrong @sigtill, but versioning (how it's implemented in its current state on FME server) doesn't have the capability to compare versions.

Second this! As an advanced user, I know how to commit edits, but those with a more basic working knowledge may not. It would be nice if it would also include the history parameter as the commit message by default as well (or have a method of pushing the commit message into the history parameter).

Not directly. But if you have access to the FME server disk where the repository sits, and you install a Git client, you can use the Git tools to do a compare. However, you would just be able to see the changes in text format, not a graphical workbench canvas.
