Techniques are described for version control with selectable file portion synchronization between an IDE and a repository, so that a version control system of this disclosure either synchronizes or ignores different portions of a file during synchronization, in accordance with user selections. In one example, a method includes evaluating content entered into a file. The method further includes detecting a starting delimiter and a stopping delimiter in the file. The method further includes copying a first portion of the file outside the starting delimiter and the stopping delimiter to a repository, and refraining from copying a second portion of the file inside the starting delimiter and the stopping delimiter to the repository.

Source code revision control with selectable file portion synchronization

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to merging artifacts in a version control system and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for compositing deltas when merging artifacts in a version control system. In one embodiment, a method for compositing deltas for artifacts can be provided. The method can include generating deltas for a contributor artifact of an ancestor artifact, identifying interrelated ones of the deltas and grouping the interrelated ones of the deltas into a composited set of deltas. The method further can include rendering the composited set of deltas in a hierarchical view of a compare view for a version control data processing system in a development platform.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to comparing artifacts and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for multi-contextual navigation of deltas in a hierarchy. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for multi-contextual navigation can include rendering objects for an artifact utilizing a default contextual view of the objects, selecting an object in the default contextual view and directing an inward navigation to a different object in the default contextual view. Notably, responsive to the directing of the inward navigation to the different object, a different contextual view can be provided for at least a portion of the objects defined by the different object.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to traceability visualization in a model driven development (MDD) tool and provide a method, system and computer program product for visualization of implicit relationships in a trace query for MDD. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for visualization of implicit relationships in a trace query for MDD can be provided. The method can include issuing a model query in an MDD tool, retrieving an implicit relationship in response to the model query, generating a trace link for the implicit relationship and displaying the trace link in a trace query diagram for the MDD tool.
