in my case, I need the "action" column for documentation purposes... some
kind of "report of changed files"...
particularly, our project is divided in many sub-projects, each with its own
branch, when we finish a project, we need to provide the list of changed
files...
currently I use the following script:
svn diff URL_TO_TRUNK@XXX URL_TO_BRANCH@HEAD | grep Index: > my_report.txt
where:
XXX is the last "merge point" between TRUNK and BRANCH
this script generates the list of changed files in my project, but I have no
way to know if files where added, removed or modified.... and other people
in my project hate to use scripts, they want a graphical interface...
I thought that with the new "Changed Files" I could resolve my problem, but
without exporting the "Action" column I can't
I don't know if my need is too specific.... Does anybody else need something
like that???
