Hello all.
We have just started using Subversion and TortoiseSvn to manage our
source code.
First of all, I'd like to say that TortoiseSvn is really good and
everybody here enjoys working with it.
When we did our first branch on tag operation we noticed something
strange that we did not expect.
We use tags for released versions (e.g. 1.1, 1.2) and another minor
version for bugfixed releases (e.g. 1.1d1, 1.1d2).
Yesterday a customer asked for a bugfix on a released version and for
this we did our first branch on tag.
The operations we did were:
Checkout of the /tags/release_1.0
Create branch /branches/release_1.0-dev
Switch to branch release_1.0-dev
Apply the fix and commit
Just then we noticed the unexpected thing. The branch creation from the
tag is visualized in the revision graph
with a grey node between the old green tag and the new green branch
node. This grey node has a revision number which
is the same revision number of the last commit trunk had at the time of
branch creation. The log message and creation
date displayed in the tooltip are the same of the trunk one too. Only
the url is different.
This unexpected situation, however, seems not to cause any problems, as
inspecting logs for the new branch does not
show anything related to this unusual node.
Is this a problem with our understanding of how Subversion and/or
TortoiseSvn work? Or is it a representation choice
for the revision graph?
I can post a picture of the revision graph if needed.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can give,
Alessandro
