Hi!
Sander's probably going to tell me that this has already been discussed. I
couldn't find anything on it in the dev list archive, so :-P
I was talking with Kaz Kylheku <kaz@ashi.footprints.net>, of the MCVS
(Meta-CVS) project (http://freshmeat.net/projects/mcvs/). In case you don't
know of it, it's yet another layer on top of CVS to provide directory
handling, SVN's main claim to fame. The whole thing is written on the client
side, in Lisp. If anyone is interested in his rough comparison of MCVS to
Subversion, I've got a longish email I can forward you. He's very careful to
avoid being "me against them", which raises my estimation of him several
notches.
In any case, MCVS's only over SVN that I can see is that it's based on CVS,
which is fairly tried-and-true. It lacks all of SVN's other features.
In any case, he did get me to thinking about revisions, and backing out
changes. In CVS, each file has a version, so if you know a given file has
version 1.2.3, and you want to remove the last two changes, you can pull out
1.2.1. SVN has a single version for the repository. I had thought that I
would just do an "svn log" on the file, find out the last few times it
changed, and then perform some sort of "svn up" on it with a given revision
number. When I tried it, svn log gave me a log that says the file has
changed by one line for every single revision, so I'm assuming that "log"
isn't implemented yet. However, is that the way you'd normally go about
backing out changes?
