Hmm, a reproduction of old generated files is only possible if the build
environment hasn't changed and if there are no other influences to the
build process, e.g. timestamps or random generator data.
When I do an offical software release I distinguish between "trunk",
"tags", "branches" and "releases", so the repository has the following
structure:
my_project
-- trunk
| -- dir1
| -- dir2
|
-- tags
|
-- branches
| -- branch1
| | -- dir1
| | -- dir2
| -- branch2
|
-- releases
-- version1
| -- sources
| -- dir1
| -- dir2
| -- binaries
| file1.bin
| filexy.elf
| build_sources_and_copy_to_binaries_dir.sh
| build_sources_and_copy_to_binaries_dir.log
-- version2
-- sources
-- dir1
-- dir2
-- binaries
file1.bin
filexy.elf
build_sources_and_copy_to_binaries_dir.sh
build_sources_and_copy_to_binaries_dir.log
The "tags" directory structure will only be used to store certain
milestones of a project which are not identical to official product
releases.
Since the copied content of "trunk" is located in the "sources"
subdirectory of "releases/version1" and not in the root it is possible
to create multiple other directories, e.g. to store the generated
binary files. Especially if the build process contains build steps which
have to be asynchronously or seperated from the main build the
"binaries" directory will also be used as a transfer directory for those
special build steps.
And also some kind of release documents which are created outside the
software build process can be stored in their own directories below
"releases/version1", e.g. release notes which have been created by an
external certification authority.
So there are lots of reasons to store generated documents in a
Subversion repository. But it would be really bad practice to mix source
files with generated files, e.g. put object files in the same
directories as source files.
