Hello all,
I'm new to the list and just searched the
svn site and doc since a while for a specific
problem we try to solve.
Background:
We evaluate subversion usability for our MDSD-based
project where we generate source code
via a code generator.
The current generator is a proprietary product
where sources are everytime overwritten except
their dedicated user sections.
To document the production of the current source
we have comment lines with the generation date
and the generator version (beside the $Id$ tag).
So it is possible that during subsequent generator
runs the source code changes only in this comment
lines.
Problem:
Subversion would detect this file everytime as
changed and wants a commit.
As far as we learned subversion is able to ignore
diffs in keywords correctly by un-substituting
them, but OTOH will do its own predefined substitution
when committing it (e.g. for the $Id$ tag).
Or take it as normal content at all when not
listed in the svn:keyword property.
But:
Is there a way to create a keyword whose content
is not considered during diff (when checking for
differences which need a commit), but is taken
plainly into the repository when the file has
changed elsewhere and is committed therefore?
Hope I could describe the problem clearly
TIA
Dirk Detering
