Maestro SCM Feature Branching

This feature provides Maestro UI and SCM command line tooling to support a project branching development workflow. This will assist customers to integrate with their source code management (SCM) systems when developing Maestro forms, allowing them to adopt modern software practices such SCM based branching and merging workflows such as GitFlow.

• Introduced new “SCM” project types
• Supporting private projects which can only be viewed/edited by the owner.
• Only support one version for designs in SCM project types

The SCM command line tooling has been enhanced to allow:

• Creation of SCM type projects using scm project add command
• Creation of private feature branches
• Support for the deletion of SCM projects and associated TM forms
• Improved "diffing" and warnings to guard against loss of work.

Library Version Tagging

• This extends the versioning changes already in Maestro
• Gives Maestro developers the ability to lock down libraries
• This means new resources can’t be published to a tagged library.
• Preserves the library contents at a point in time.
