Using svnmucc (or the language bindings for your preferred scripting language), 
you might even write the script to work without a local checkout of the whole 
structure, and using a single transaction.

Thanks for the report, but there is little anyone can do about this
because ...

...this important information is missing. It is required to reproduce
the problem.

Do this, too, unless you already did.

Thanks!

Can (Tortoise) Svn auto uncompress-recompress files to merge/update files?

[Ruth Ivimey-Cook]

Folks,

I'm using TortoiseSVN on Windows 7 talking to a mod_dav server in Apache 
hosted in Fedora 13. While TSVN is working for me, it might be possible 
to use another tool if that would help.


The svn repo I maintain contains a lot of files for a simulator. The 
files define the simulator environment and are in fact well-formed XML. 
However the simulator stores them on disk as compressed files (*.bin), 
and the so the repo does too. This is all fine, except I lose the 
ability to track and merge changes.


Is there a way (hook?), when TSVN sees a file is different, for it to 
call an uncompress utility on the files from disk and repo, do the 
merge/whatever, and then recompress again once finished?


I have the compressor (not ZIP - it's special). I emphasise: the use of 
compressed files is not my choice, it's the simulator's, and I can't 
alter that. There is never more than one XML file in a compressed file 
(think gzip not unzip)


So, just to be clear, I imagine the current svn_client side_update 
process to be something like:


Code:

for each working file do
  if working version number lower than repo version number {file out of date}
if date or size properties differ from base version And
   checksum differs from base version And file is mergeable {working 
version modified }
  fetch latest version {now have 3: base, latest, working }
  diff3 base version, latest version, working version { now have patch to 
working }
  if diff patches don't conflict
patch working version
  else
mark for manual merge
  end if
end if
  end if
end for

... probably left stuff out but, assuming it's not too bad, I'm saying : 
can this be modified to:


Code:

for each working file do
  if working version number lower than repo version number {file out of date}
if date or size properties differ from base version And
   checksum differs from base version And file is mergeable {working 
version modified }
  fetch latest version {now have 3: base, latest, working }
*   uncompress just-fetched latest version {read only, temporary }
  uncompress working version {to be patched, temporary }
  uncompress base version {read only, temporary }
*   diff3 base version, latest version, working version { now have patch to 
working }
  if diff patches don't conflict
patch working version
* compress working version {new working version }
*   else
mark for manual merge
  end if
*   delete temporary files
* end if
  end if
end for

Of course, similar changes would be needed in some other code paths, 
notably view differences.


Thanks
Ruth

Re: Can (Tortoise) Svn auto uncompress-recompress files to merge/update files?

[David Weintraub]

Why store the files as compressed if you need to merge them? You're
not saving anything by zipping them up as a compressed archive.
Subversion uses diff format to store changes, so each revision only
stores the differences from the previous version.

In fact, you're probably wasting a lot more room storing these files
as a compressed archive. Each change in that compressed archive means
storing the differences between one compressed archive vs. the other,
and the differences are probably pretty major since minor differences
in compressed files can filter throughout the entire compressed
archive.

So, uncompress them, and store them as pure XML files. Then, you can
use Subversion to track individual diffs and do your merges. By the
way, Subversion default diff and merge tools aren't too good for XML
because XML files aren't line oriented. Fortunately, you can specify
your own diff and merge tools when you use Subversion. Find a good XML
diff and merge tool for these files.
