Blue Canvas tracks just about every type of metadata today. Included are for example Classes, Triggers, Settings, Visualforce Pages, Custom Fields, Workflow Rules, and Custom Objects, as well as the types listed in the Salesforce documentation for the Metadata API.
A standard package.xml
in the repository tells us which types to track.
Unsupported Metadata Types
There are a few types of metadata which are not currently tracked because they require special attention when tracking or deploying them. Ultimately, Blue Canvas plans to track all types, just like it does with Classes, Triggers, Settings and Visualforce pages.
Currently, Blue Canvas cannot track changes to:
