Hi,
While trying to keep subversion synchronized with another product I stumbled
over a point about behaviour:
commands like move, delete, rename, ... expect to find the source file
intact and return with an error message if that's not the case.
This might seem correct if you use subversion ALWAYS in an own client and
don't expect it to work inside other products. For example I'm trying to
write an addin where I get several events if the user renamed, moved,
deleted a file within that IDE, but the event is just a notification that it
already
happened.
There's no way to tell the IDE that subversion would do the
rename, move, ... itself.
So my request: could subversion instead of returning with an error just do
the operation as if the file was still there and do the operation just
inside the internal structure? (only if the file is no there anymore).
So e.g. the command delete would check if the file is still there,
if yes delete it normally and from source control, if the file was
already deleted just delete the file from source control too.
kind regards,
Stefan
