RE: Re: Commit - Approve cycle ?

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough:

Joe (developer) starts a commit transaction that requires Bob's (manager) approval.
Bob reviews Joe's changes and commits them as changeset #100.

Would
svn log -r 100 url_to_repository
show Joe (developer) or Bob (manager) as the committer of the changeset?

I'm not sure what you mean by "preserve" vs. "overwrite". It's a
transaction. Somebody creates it, then any number of people come along
and have the options of

   * examining it
   * making more changes to it
   * aborting it
   * committing it

A transaction is just a mutable tree; any number of people can share
it. It's just that nobody's written workflow apps to make use of them
like this. At the moment, 'svn commit' creates a transaction, edits it,
and commits it all in one step.
