RE: Re: svndiff binary format

Thanks for the answers so far, especially that doc - it's a good start for some experiments.

@Andy: Working backwards from an implementation to a specification = reverse engineering.

As for whether or not I "should" be fiddling with revision files - why not? As long as the format remains consistent, they're perfectly valid and won't corrupt the repository at all.

The main target here is to implement "obliterate". If I can empty the revisions which pertain to a particular file, I can erase the contents. This seems simpler than try to actually remove the file itself from the repository.

I'm an absolute newb when it comes to developing with subversion, but I will poke around the docs and see if there's anything built in that can help.

Cheers.
