In the mail that I sent with v3 of the patch, I was trying to explain
that (a)It doesn't matter whether you pass the start or the end
revision to svn_client__ra_session_from_path() (b)But there is a case
where it does seem to matter - When the revision range specified
includes a revision in which the file was renamed; Passing the lesser
revision and getting a ra_session from svn_ra_session_from_path()
makes svn_ra_get_log() fail(with that ra_session).
And the example that I gave in that mail was:
For example, if trunk/folder existed between r4 and r6 and was renamed
to trunk/folder1 in r7, then, trying to get the log with 'svn log
-r4:7 trunk/folder1' doesn't work if you are passing the start
revision(4) to svn_client__ra_session_from_path(). But passing the end
revision (7) to svn_client__ra_session_from_path() works. Here's the
result with the actual revision # of the object(rev) and the final
resulting url(url_p) from svn_client__ra_session_from_path() printed
out - In this case the revision was set to start.
-------------------------
svn log -r4:7 trunk/folder1
url_p:file:///home/ramaswamy/issues/2287/repos/trunk/folder
rev:4
subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/tree.c:315
<file:///home/ramaswamy/issues/2287/repos/trunk/folderrev:4subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/tree.c:315>:
(apr_err=160013)
svn: File not found: revision 7, path '/trunk/folder'
