I've actually managed to get update somewhat working :) :). It doesn't yet
handle removing files correctly, but I'm really close (just way too tired...
now 7:25AM, been working on this all night). I'm not 100% sure how it
handles modifications to directory structure either. Really I've only
tested adding files and changing their contents within the root directory,
and that works. Oh... I forgot about reviving a file... I bet that won't
work. You can't ask for old revisions yet, you can only update to HEAD.
This makes it difficult for me to setup a public server to demonstrate with
:). Below is a log of a session that switches back and forth between CVS
and Subversion.
Note that the insanely large version numbers you see are because I model
repository wide revisions with CVS using a timestamp expressed as the number
of seconds since 1970. This makes the repository pretty close to
continuous. The HEAD is always considered to be _now_. You can spend the
rest of the day just hitting "svn up" and getting back a repository that is
a few seconds newer. Considering the emphatic arguments from people on this
mailing list that revision numbers aren't something users should really be
dealing with anyway, it shouldn't matter that I have truly destroyed a
user's ability to even think about them, right? :P
Sincerely,
Jay Freeman (saurik)
