THanks, Uli.
We are integrating SVN into our change management system. Each commit will schedule an update of the cross-reference information
that we keep. Now, because regenerating this x-ref information can take, potentially, between 30 minutes and 1 hour to complete over
the entire code base, we only want to do it on what has changed.
Now, the other problem that we had was that we have 'include' files, which are expanding at compile time (similar to C header file, I believe).
We use the previous X-ref run, and the changed file list, to determine which files actually need recompilation and scanning.
I just wanted to find out the above information before I went forward with the implementation. I wasn't sure if I was going to need to
implement a mutex to pause any commits whilst the x-ref's 'svn update' command is being executed or not. The answer is now, I don't.
Cheers,
Daniel B.
