Hi,
I've been searching far and wide for a feature which enables me to
create a list of patched files.
What I want to do is, once changes are commited to the repository,
extract a list of changed files with their revision number in the
repository in Unified Diff format.
This functionality is similar to the Create Patch functionality already
present with 2 differences:
1) The create patch option creates a Unified Diff file with the current
revision number in the repository
2) The create patch option writes the changes to be made to the current
revision of the file in order to apply the patch
Doing it this way means that a user has to sort any conflicts every time
the patch is applied using the Merge program.
Seems to me that it would be prudent to be able to extract a list of
changed files with their respective revision numbers in order to make a
patch which would fetch the correct revision directly from the
repository and replace any existing files in the selected directory (a
backup of the existing files would be nice here, I think, or a list
which enabled de-patching directly from the repository)
Furthermore, it seems that the current "apply patch" functionality
expects the patch to be applied directly in the correct directory. That
is, it doesn't appear to be possible to apply a patch to a top folder
eventhough the path is clearly written in the generated Unified Diff file.
Is it possible to create such a file list already?
If so, how?
If not, is it something that could be considered for the next release of
TortoiseSVN?
Thanks for a great SVN client
