Here's a recipe that explains the problem:
cd \
rd /s/q repos wc
cls
svn --version
svnadmin create repos
svn co file:///repos wc
cd wc
echo text >test.c
svn add test.c
svn ci -m "Adding test.c"
echo some more text >>test.c
svn ci -m "Updating test.c"
svn mv test.c newtest.c
svn ci -m "Moved test.c to newtest.c"
echo Still more text >>newtest.c
svn ci -m "Updated newtest.c"
svn cat -r4 newtest.c
svn cat -r4 test.c
svn cat -r2 newtest.c
svn cat -r2 test.c
svn cat -r4 file:///repos/newtest.c
svn cat -r4 file:///repos/test.c
svn cat -r2 file:///repos/newtest.c
svn cat -r2 file:///repos/test.c
(sample runs appended at end)
Let's run through each svn cat command, and see what we're asking
Subversion:
* svn cat -r4 newtest.c
This is asking Subversion to find the URL associated with the resource
at "newtest.c", and getting whatever that URL looked like at revision 4.
* svn cat -r4 test.c
Same thing, but another resource. This resource does not exist at r4,
so this fails.
* svn cat -r2 newtest.c
This is where things get interesting. We're asking Subversion to find
the URL associated with newtest.c, and to run back through history, and
get the contents of the file at r2.
Except for svn log, 1.0.x could not follow history. So, what would
happen is that the client would ask the server for "give me the resource
named newtest.c at revision 2".
1.1.x instead does "tell me what's the name of the resource newtest.c at
revision 4 in revision 2" and then "tell me what's the content of the
previous query at r2".
* svn cat -r2 test.c
Here, both versions behave the same. We're asking for the resource
named test.c at r2.
* svn cat -r4 file:///repos/newtest.c
* svn cat -r4 file:///repos/test.c
* svn cat -r2 file:///repos/newtest.c
* svn cat -r2 file:///repos/test.c
All of these cases are the same - we're specifying a direct resource.
If the resource exists at the specified revision, bingo, we get the
contents. Else, we get a non-existent URL at revision.
I can't find it in Subversion's command help, but I believe there was a
way to specify the peg revision, which the command line client
automatically does when we use repository paths.
I hope these explanations make things clearer for you. If you need more
help, don't hesitate.
Have a nice day !
