I know SVN knows, but its not telling right?
How do I get a log of an item in a repo with all the tags and branches
shown in the correct place in
the item's time line please? I've understood that this is solvable, but
impractical with the existing SVN API.
Isn't the problem that when I call svn_client_log it does not return
any information about copied_to
paths that could be used to extract tag and branch info from?
And do recall that this would not change until an SVN 2.0 redesigned
schema to allow retrieval of this info
cheaply?
Far the end users point of view SVN does not understand tags and
branches because the queries and
operations that an end user wishes to do cannot be done quickly or at
all. Which is what David is
getting at.
