There are commercial solutions that do not have embedded
administrative directories. They simply provide a clean command
with which to copy/move workspace directories.
I intend to implement this in phase 2 of my patch. Phase 1 will
simply be getting the feature to work as a config file option. I
was thinking of a new command 'wc' (working copy)
It would go something like this:
User desires to copy workspace /home/user/venus to /home/user/mars :
1) cp -R /home/user/venus /home/user/mars
2) svn wc copy /home/user/venus /home/user/mars
3) svn wc list
/home/user/venus
/home/user/mars
User desires to move workspace /home/user/venus to /home/user/mars :
1) mv /home/user/venus /home/user/mars
2) svn wc move /home/user/venus /home/user/mars
3) svn wc list
/home/user/mars
User wishes to remove a workspace from control :
1) svn wc remove /home/user/venus
User wishes to edit the working copy list:
1) svn wc edit
[Opens editor with the following text]
/home/user/venus -> (REPO URL)
/home/user/mars -> (REPO URL)
2) user can manipulate the left side of the mapping
An intended side-effect of separated meta directories is the fact
that you can get global information about all of your workspaces
at once. This is a common features in popular commercial SCM
solutions, and one which I have found extremely useful.
