Hi devs,
we discovered an icon overlay "feature" which is not always helpful. I'm
not sure if it's even an explcit feature or an implicit misbehaviour.
Following scenario (always using recursive overlays)...
+- [project1]
| |
| +- [...]
|
+- [project2]
| |
| +- [...]
...shows the icon overlays correctly for both working copies (project1,
project2 are working copies of separate projects).
Now if you create a mixed (project) working copy by copying project1 into
project2...
+- [project1]
| |
| +- [...]
| |
| +- [project2]
| |
| +- [...]
...and modify project2 then not only project2 but also project1 will get
the modified-overlay. This might by a feature to indicate one that there
has "something" changed but there are situations where one wants to
disable this "feature".
I know that we could disable recursive overlays globally but that's not
really a solution because we (normally) really like them. We also tried to
add project2 to project1's ignore list but this has no effect on the
overlays - project1 is still shown as modified.
Would it be possible that one is able to selectively stop overlay
recursion - either by honoring the svn:ignore property or even by
implementing a new tsvn:overlay-recursion-stop property? Or any other
solutions/suggestions?
Best regards and big thanks
Michael
