Hi Dale
Thanks for a quick response; I understand that when something is
moved/copied, it gets copied from a specific revision for a specific
path. But, the issue is how subversion decides which revision to copy
from. In the case specified, /dir2/newdir@9 was copied from /newdir@8
(not @4 -- even if they're the same). Now compare this with r4 below.
Here, /newdir@4 was copied from /dir@1 (and not from /dir@3) as we
would have expected since the WC was at 3.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4 | stoor | 2005-06-27 12:16:05 -0400 (Mon, 27 Jun 2005) | 1 line
Changed paths:
D /a.txt
D /dir
A /newdir (from /dir:1)
A /newdir/b.txt (from /dir/b.txt:3)
A /newdir/c.txt (from /dir/c.txt:3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the problem that I'm facing. My objective here is only to read
a repository and generate the changesets for each revision
appropriately. So, my concern is not how to make /dir2/newdir@9 copy
from /newdir@4, but to understand which revisions are selected when
nodes are copied, so I can code some similar logic for my mock object.
Any other ideas?
Thanks again,
Sukhmeet
