Re: Svncopy.pl problem pinning new externals formats

From: Darío B <darizotas_at_gmail.com>
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:28:15 +0200

First of all, sorry for re-sending the email (I pressed the button that I
shouldn't) and for this quite long email.

Reading the svn-book you can see that SVN 1.6 and newer versions support a
new format of the svn:externals property. That format also supports
relative URLs (for further information, please read "Externals Definitions"
chapter of the svn-book). Let's go straight to the point. We can define the
svn:externals as follows:

New formats:
URL[@REV] subdir
[-rREV] URL subdir

Old format:
subdir [-rREV] URL

Example:
^/tools/trunk tools

As you can see, the URL stars with ^/, which means: "Relative to the root
repository in which the svn:externals property is versioned."

Said that, I could check the code for svncopy.pl only supports the old
format so I modified the code as follows (please, *don't pay attention to
the modification of the --file option* that is not related with this issue.
For more information about that check

Done this modification, svncopy.pl is able to parse the new format, but
when it triea to retrieve the last revision to pin/tag the svn:externals
property it gets the following error:

I hope this clarifies the situation. I attach again the modified file and
