In subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/editop.c /* * Both the client and server in the svn protocol need to drive and * consume editors. For a commit, the client drives and the server * consumes; for an update/switch/status/diff, the server drives and * the client consumes. This file provides a generic framework for * marshalling and unmarshalling editor operations over an svn * connection; both ends are useful for both server and client. */
I am wondering why we need the concept of editor here in SVN. What does it mean by "for a commit, the client drives and the server consumes (editors)"? I am thinking a commit operation, can't we just simply send the delta from the client to the server? Why editor? Thanks. Bo
