SubWCRev: Options to recognize "tags" folder, "all externals set explicit" & more

Hello,

in our projects we have the need to get some more information about the subversion status and I would like to generate a patch for this. I would like to present my ideas with this email and to discuss them, before starting the final work on the realization of it.

Task 1 “tags”:

I would like to get a new keyword substitution “$WCISTAGGED?TText:FText$”, which recognize the keyword “tags” in the repository URL.
Optional this keyword should be set from the registry (same as in CSVNProgressDlg). I saw, that the implementation in “CSVNProgressDialog::IsComittingToTagTag” uses classes, which are not used in SubWCRev program. Can I use MFC or should I just add a command line switch (e.g. –tag=tags)?

Task 2 “external use all explicit revisions”

The second idea is to have another keyword “$WCEXTEXPREV?TText:FText$”, which recognize, if all used externals uses an explicit revision. This can be very helpful, to recognize, if there is an svn::externals, which uses the head revision instead of an explicit revision.

Task 3 “fixed externals lead not to mixed revisions”

My last idea, would be to add a new command line switch “-E”, which works nearly in the same way as the current “-e” command line switch. The only problem with the current implementation is, that when an explicit revision for an external is used, we always get a mixed revision result. My idea would be, to ignore the externals with explicit revision, when the revision range inside of them is only the given explicit revision in the properties. So they would not lead to a smaller MinRev and so no mixed update revisions.

That’s my ideas and I would like to provide a patch for them. So please some feedback for my ideas!

Thanks Jan
