Hi,
last week I've been reminded by a colleague reporting the problem to me
about a scenario which I take it a lot of especially new users of TSVN
have trouble with getting right.
Assume you bring up the TSVN log dialog of your project (in this case
for TSVN 1.9):
The user (understandably) reads this as his checkout being up-to-date
(since he's at the highest listed revision - aka: 1837042) and hence
expects his WC being up-to-date.
However, this is not necessarily the case. There are several situations
which can give the false impression here (f.e. you don't see here that
subversion/po/de.po I actually updated to an older revision and hence
that file even though part of the bold revision is not up to date at all!).
A common mishap which regularly happens to our users here is that one
commits some changes while another person also commits something.
Bringing up the revision of the person who committed the later change
would also show the previous commit of the other user in the log,
however (if the change was done in a different file/path) he would not
actually have the corresponding changes in his WC.
I've got no real suggestion here for a perfect
"fix"/"change"/"improvement" since I understand that any perfect
solution would be quite performance demanding (also on the server). But
maybe at least a red warning could be displayed at top of the window in
case the log is displayed for a mixed-revision working copy to point out
that part of the displayed changes might not be present yet?
Or does anybody have a better/different solution to that "problem" I
might have not considered yet?
