Re: Action needed to get critical SVN related fix in Windows 7 SP1
Bert Huijben wrote: Hi, Theoretically we could work around this by deleting the file in your working copy... and then write the new data. But this has one essential problem: What if for whatever reason the delete occured but the write didn't? (Or when it stops half way). Now we write a temporary file and then move it in place. This file move operation either succeeds, or it fails (leaving both files). In both cases we don't lose data, while in the delete then write case we would. Isn't there transactional update support in NTFS now? Disclaimer: I haven't tried it. James
Re: Managing Vendor Branches
Jeff Mott wrote: I've recently needed to track changes for vendor code drops, so I read the SVN book's vendor branches chapter. But I'm not entirely happy with part of the procedure, so I'd like to talk it out and, I hope, find a better way. I struggled with findinng a way to do this too. I can't help feeling that it is such a common requirement that some bulletproof builtin automation would be worthwhile, and that there be One True Way to do it.
