I've wrote a wrapper script to the svn which basically filters the commands and
if a commit or update is given the -N flag is inserted into the list of
options. Howerver when I perform a commit with the -N flag something strange
happens. I've laid out an example below to describe what I am going through.
/usr/local/svn/test [repository]
/ex1 [working copy 1]
/ex2 [working copy 2]
in test the following folders exist
test1 test2 test3
in ex1
cd test1
touch a b c
cd ..
mkdir test4
svn add *
[adds all the above]
svn commit -N
[commits test4 and excludes test1/a test1/b test1/c as expected]
in ex2
svn update -N
[updates the revision number but doesn't pull in the test4 directory]
svn list
test1/
test2/
test3/
test4/
svn list shows the folder there but svn update never pulls that folder from the
repository
Is this a bug?
I'm using the -N flag to prevent users from accidentally performing global
commits and updates in certain situations. I want users to perform updates on
the current folders which includes retreiving newly created directories.
Also...is there an easy way of adding a file to the repository from a
development area and then retrieving a copy of that file in another area such
as:
/ex1 [working copy 1]
/ex2 [working copy 2]
I create the file foo.php in /ex1 and I've also modified a few other files in
the same directory. I would like to update foo.php in ex2 however the file
hasn't been created yet. The only way I can retrieve a copy of that file is to
perform an update on the directy instead of the file. However I don't want to
update other files immediately. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

I'm not positive this is a bug. Could you please discuss it on the
dev@subversion.tigris.org list first? (Specifying dev@ not users@ because I
think people at dev@ will be interested -- tell them I sent you :-) ).
See http://subversion.tigris.org/project_issues.html for more about why we use
the mailing lists first.
Thanks,
-Karl
