RE: Creating complex tag with mixed revisions fails

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for your quick reply!

Your idea really sounds good but unfortunately I got the same problem when
one file is backdated to an older revision:

1. Checkout whole project (including trunc and tags):
        $ ls
        ./ ../ myproject/
        $ cd myproject
        $ ls
        tags trunk branches

        $ ls tags
        [nothing here]

2. Backdating one file in trunc working copy:
        $ svn update -r 1 trunc/oracle/directory/perftool.pm
        U perftool.pm
        Updated to revision 1.
 
3. Copying modified trunc into tags directory (looks good):
        $ svn copy trunk tags/release1
        A tags/release1

4. Commit new directory against repository (fails again):
        $ svn commit -m "Blah bla"
        Adding tags/release1
        Adding tags/release1/oracle/directory/perftool.pm
        svn: Commit failed (details follow):
        svn: Out of date:
'/myproject/tags/release1/oracle/directory/perftool.pm' in transaction '18'
        svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
        svn: '/DBA/users/kam/svn/myproject/svn-commit.tmp'

I really cannot believe that this does not work. Maybe my repository or my
compiled svn is not ok? But all other things work fine so the binaries seem
to be ok.

Thanks again!

Best Regards

Jens Kammler

I can't see why that wouldn't work. But -

Have you tried doing the copy from WC to WC and then commiting? Something
like

$ ls
./ ../ myproject/
$ cd myproject
$ ls
tags trunk branches

$ ls tags
[nothing here]

$ svn copy trunk tags/release1
$ svn commit -m "Blah bla"

usually works for me. How does that work?
