I wasn't proposing to make FSFS EOL agnostic.  I was proposing to make
the error message ungarbled.

Thank you!  This proved to be good advice.  I was unaware I could run
multiple svnserve processes in parallel.

When I started a second svnserve process, I discovered it worked
perfectly fine with my authz setup.  Also,
I noticed that doing "svn log" was starting to produce a "Network
connection closed unexpectedly" error on the
client side, making me suspicious my main svnserve process was getting
flaky for whatever reason.  I restarted
my main svnserve process and my problem went away.

I don't understand why my svnserve process starting behaving this way,
but the problem is resolved for now.
I was able to modify my authz file to achieve my current access goals.

Many thanks for helping me get unstuck!

Best regards,

Question to svn merge (merge just parts of a diff)

2016-02-08 Thread Kai Behncke

Dear users,

I`m quite new to svn. I would like to know it the following in svn is 
possible:




I have in (let`s say Revision 2) a file, that I have changed onetime (I 
deleted "B"), with the following content now:

A
C
D

Then, in Revision 3 an automatic update occurs. The new file has the 
content:

A
B
E

...that means that some changes, that I made, are overwritten now. But 
that should not be.



A diff between 2 and 3 would show someting like:
A
-C
-D
+B
+E

Is there a possibility to do (for Revision 4) a "svn merge" to get a new 
file, that:


* "knows" that B has been deleted before, so it will not be reintegrated
*  does not delete  C and D (I would like to declare s.th. like: Don`t 
delete anything that has been added in a former revision)

* integrates E (as a new entry, that has not been in any former version)

so that a result like:
A
C
D
E

...comes out?
What I mean is: Is it possible to "have a look to a diff" and then 
analyze automatically by the system the single-diff parts

to set some rules if the single diff-parts should be integrated or not?

Thank you very much, Kai
