Some developers are asking me : How do I tag my specification when I do a release or close a development branch while GreenPepper does not provide full SCM capabilities in the wiki.
I explained in Why we did not implement a full SCM for specifications why we did not think it was a good idea to implement full SCM capabilities in the wiki.
To achieve the need stated above, we have implemented in all our build system integrations (Maven, MSBuild and Nant) a feature called freeze, what this does is simply going to the wiki server to get the specifications and store them locally. See the documentation to learn what you need to do in your build script.
You simply commit those files and tag them with your source files. Couldn’t be simpler!

You can even come back months after the release and execute the specifications locally from your IDE or from the command line.
