RE: Re: Getting history of a file which was added when moving a folder

Hello Jörg,

That's a nicely cut-down demonstration of your problem.
However, SVN seems to be behaving correctly.

The command
        svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2
means
        svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2_at_BASE
and you probably have that for the current directory BASE=1

You can check this with
        svn info .

Do
        svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2_at_HEAD
or
        svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2_at_3
produce what you expect?

If so, then all you need do is an
        svn update
after the commit. (A commit does not, and should not, update your working copy.)

Then your original command
        svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2
will behave as you expect.

I hope I've got the details right here.

Rob.

Hello,

i can reproduce this problem with svn 1.4.0 using an new repository in
/repository/svn by doing the following in a temporary folder:

mkdir project
cd project
mkdir folder1
cd folder1
touch file1
cd ..
svn import -m "initial import" file:///repository/svn/Test
cd ..
rm -rf project
svn co file:///repository/svn/Test project
cd project
svn move folder1 folder2
cd folder2
touch file2
svn add file2
cd ..
svn ci -m "update1"
cd folder2
echo "foobar" > file2
svn ci -m "update2"

svn diff -r 3:2 file:///repository/svn/Test/folder2/file2

This results in:
svn: File not found: revision 1, path '/Test/folder1/file2'

I think svn should display that the text 'foobar' was added in revision 3
of file2.

Jörg
