Hi,
I have a problem with tagging a sparse directory.
Suppose I have this structure:
myproj
dirA
...
dirB
...
I want user A to work on dirA, and user B - on dirB.
But both are contributing to the same release-candidate, let's call it rel_X.
(the idea is that integrator would be taking whole myproj using
release-candidate tag rel_X)
So, user A builds sparse working copy of myproj
% svn co $SVNROOT/myproj -–depth empty myproj
% svn update -–depth infinity myproj/dirA
.. modifies it in some way and tries to tag:
% svn mkdir $SVNROOT/tags/rel_X
% svn copy myproj $SVNROOT/tags/rel_X/ -m “tagging part A of myproj
for the next integration”
The problem that we see is SVN for some reason also copies dirB under
$SVNROOT/branches/rel_X !!
% svn ls $SVNROOT/tags/rel_X/myproj
dirA
dirB <- this should not be there !
my SVN version is 1.6.2 (r37639)
I was under impression that svn copy WC -> URL should take whatever I
have in my WC,
and ONLY that, similar to unix copy.
The whole point of this mode (WC -> URL) it to remember (tag) any
weird combination of versions/components
that I've built in my WC. So why copy the rest of the world ? If
that's not a bug but feature, would it be possible
to have a switch to copy command that would behave as I described ?
thanks !
