I'm considering writing a script which (among other things) can iterate
through all the valid revisions for an element. I'm trying to figure
out the best way to do that. I could easily just start at "1" up to the
latest revision number, and just check for errors on each one, but that
seems pretty painful. Is there a straightforward way to get a list of
valid revision numbers for an element? I would like the ability to
start at the beginning and iterate to the latest, and also start at the
latest and iterate to the earliest.
Why can't you take a "log" of that element? That'll give you all the revisions
on which that element changed.
$ svn log 1:HEAD $element #List from first to last
$ svn log HEAD:1 $element #List from last to first.
You forgot a "-r" in there before the revision numbers. But better yet, if you
just want the revision numbers (and not also the log messages, timestamps, authors, etc.):
$ svn log -q -r 1:HEAD $element | awk '/^r/ {print $1}'
$ svn log -q -r HEAD:1 $element | awk '/^r/ {print $1}'
From the viewer's perspective, an 'element' is probably the same if it
is named the same even if it is deleted and re-added (making it not the
same from subversion's perspective). Would this catch the revisions
where a filename does/doesn't exist in those cases?
