This is not a bug. When you update your branch, the BASE revision
becomes the same as HEAD. If the commit that created HEAD doesn't touch
your branch, then log will not return any data for your command. You're
basically asking svn "What happened in rBASE on this branch?" The
answer in this case happens to be: nothing!
You should probably be using the svnversion tool with the -c option.
This returns the earliest and latest committed revision in a working
copy.
Example:
[danello@lynx ~/src/ec/trunk]$ svn up
At revision 4512.
[danello@lynx ~/src/ec/trunk]$ svn log -r BASE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[danello_at_lynx ~/src/ec/trunk]$ svn log -q -v -r4512 http://lynx/ec-svn
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4512 | jcozzens | 2005-07-12 09:33:08 -0400 (Tue, 12 Jul 2005)
Changed paths:
M /branches/eCommerce/4.8.0.x/4.8.0-4.8.0.1-post-upgrade/SeeBeyond3x/monk_scripts/common/FILE/Collab/crTRNSIRSFileMask.tsc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[danello@lynx ~/src/ec/trunk]$ svnversion -c .
2:4497
I this example, svn log of BASE=4512 on trunk returns no data because
4512 didn't touch trunk. When I run svnversion, I get 2:4497. 2 is the
commit revision of the least recently comitted file. 4497 is the commit
revision of the most recently comitted file.
