Hi All,
I use ant scripts to build our applications for release. As part of this process, source
code is exported from the repository to a temporary directory and built.
In my ant script, this process often involves getting files from several different areas of
our repository and hence involves several "export" operations. To ensure I get a
consistent build, I use the same revision number for all my exports.
However, I've not been able to find any way of getting the "latest" revision number of
a repository without at least exporting one file from it. I've looked at the "svn info"
command, but this operates against a working copy which won't necessarily be
present on the build machine. So, for now, I do an export, parse its output for the
revision number and then use that revision number for subsequent exports. It works,
but I find it a bit messy and it is of course subject to any changes in the formatting of
the output from the export command.
I guess what I'm looking for is a kind of "svn revision URL" command that returns the
latest revision of the specified url without needing a local client working copy.
Alternatively perhaps, allow the "svn status" command to take a URL instead of a
local path and then return appropriate values for that URL.
Cheers,
