RE: The value of HEAD

Aloha,

To obtain the HEAD revision number, I wrote:

> svn log -rHEAD -q file:///d:/svnrep/mytools | perl -wlne '/^r(\d+)/ and do
{ print $1; exit }'

To which Ben Collins-Sussman responded:

> I prefer to run 'svn status -u' and just parse the last line.

Agreed, there is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI, as is Perl's motto).
But Ben's command takes from the root of my WC with 3642 files 51 seconds,
where my own command only needs 2 seconds. Furthermore, I noticed that I can
shorten my command to

svn log -rHEAD -q | perl -wlne '/^r(\d+)/ and do { print $1; exit }'

omitting the URL.

Have a nice day.
