Why is it that because I am not following what you say, it makes me
the one who is not lost??
Are you not seeing the same output I do when I look at the log of
"tag/tag1"?
"(from /trunk/foo.c:1028)"
It tells the file in the trunk that this tag was made from, as well as
precisely the revision number you are saying you cannot find. What
are you missing? Normally I would say "what am I missing" but it
seems I have all the information, but it's frustrating when there is
multiple people here talking about this being impossible, as if I am
invisible.
P.S. If you insist on looking up the file in trunk and seeing a "list"
of tags, why not take the information and add a file property in
trunk which lists these names matched with their revision? It can be
automated.
I just think subversion needs a more *convenient* way to cross-ref
from trunk to tags that branched from it. In the end, shoot, it
shouldn't bother me that all you can't do it. It doesn't stop me.
Also I'm wondering if the limitation is when you tag from a branch
with mixed revisions. I'm not sure how that complicates my method.
It's just that nobody is clarifying when I ask.
