Wow, awesome!
There's no issue filed (yet), as this has just been tossed around in
private conversation.
Let me just make sure: we're talking about the splitting of URLs into
BaseURL and FS_Path, where the BaseURL is everything up to the root of
the repository, and the FS_Path is the path within the repository,
right?
The simplest solution is to store them separately in the entries file.
Currently, an entry has a single URL field, like this:
<entry
committed-rev="2024"
name="blah"
committed-date="blah"
url="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_client"
last-author="jrandom"
kind="dir"
prop-time="blah"
revision="2030"/>
That would change to:
<entry
committed-rev="2024"
name="blah"
committed-date="blah"
base-url="http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/"
fs-path="/trunk/subversion/libsvn_client"
last-author="jrandom"
kind="dir"
prop-time="blah"
revision="2030"/>
(Dunno about the trailing or leading slash, but whatever.)
Of course, you can't tell from looking at a URL where the dividing
line is. In fact, the present client never finds it out -- only the
repository code ever knows. So the main change here is that this
information needs to be communicated back to the client somehow (at
least during the initial checkout, possibly under other circumstances
as well?), presumably without adding yet another network turnaround.
Does this help?
