Google Summer of Code, Pt. 17 [FINAL]
Greetings all, this will be the last of my required updates. Now, that does not mean I will stop posting (about phpMyAdmin or otherwise), but rather this will be the last of the official "Google Summer of Code, Pt. # [ _____ ]" sequence of GSoC related updates and status reports. Nor does it spell the end of my contributions to phpMyAdmin, although the amount of time I will be able to contribute will be cut back drastically (read: no longer ~25hrs/week, or whatever the average actually was), what with school starting up again in a few weeks, work (on campus job), and other collegiate activities, but I will spend as much time as is reasonable contributing to PMA.
Last week I successfully merged my branch back into the trunk, but without the glorious automation of "svn merge" unfortunately. Ultimately, I had to do it the old fashion way by copying and moving files around, and using diff/patch where necessary. It wasn't a terribly painful or drawn out experience, but it would have been nice if SVN had worked as advertised. Now, whether the fault was my own for somehow messing up my branch along the way so that it couldn't be merged, I don't know. I tried methods listed for every major release of SVN, and none of them worked correctly. For what it's worth, keeping my branch in sync with the trunk was incredibly easy.
I hope you all make good use of my new import/export additions. Even though GSoC is over, I want everyone to know that I still welcome any suggetions or critiques regarding my changes. Don't hesitate to request a new import/export modules, addition featuers for existing ones, or really anything else. I'll be around. =D
I have a few changes that I have been waiting to make until everyone was done merging their branches back into the trunk, as I didn't want to cause additional conflicts. I believe that everyone is done with their merging at this point, so I will be applying these changes soon.
It's been great working with all of you! And to my fellow students, I hope that you'll stick around and keeping contributing to phpMyAdmin as well.

Congratulations!
You will have to wait few more days, my branch is still not in trunk
. I hope, it will be in trunk by Sunday.

Gratz to you as well!
Not a problem, it’s nothing that can’t wait a few days.
