Hi, Consider the following scenario: someone copies a directory, then commit. Inside this directory, there are a few files with the $Rev$ keyword set to be expanded. Another user updates his working copy to the same revision. Both look at the expansion of the $Rev$ keyword in the files: they are not the same.
I'm quite surprised, since I would have expected this to be independent of the working copy used (as long as it's up-to-date, obviously). Example (current working directory printed before shell prompt): $ svnadmin create repo $ svn co file://$PWD/repo active Checked out revision 0. $ svn co file://$PWD/repo passive Checked out revision 0. $ cd active (active) $ svn mkdir dir A dir (active) $ echo '$Rev$' > dir/file; svn add dir/file A dir/file (active) $ svn propset svn:keywords Rev dir/file property 'svn:keywords' set on 'dir/file' (active) $ svn ci -mdummy Adding dir Adding dir/file Transmitting file data . Committed revision 1. (active) $ svn cp dir newdir A newdir (active) $ svn ci -mdummy Adding newdir Committed revision 2. (active) $ head -v */file ==> dir/file <== $Rev: 1 $ ==> newdir/file <== $Rev: 2 $ (active) $ cd ../passive (passive) $ svn up A newdir A newdir/file A dir A dir/file Updated to revision 2. (passive) $ head -v */file ==> dir/file <== $Rev: 1 $ ==> newdir/file <== $Rev: 1 $ (passive) $ Now, another funny point: in the "active" working copy, do "svn up -r1; svn up" and then you've got the same keyword expansion as in the "passive" copy. I'm a bit annoyed, because: 1. I don't understand why it works this way. 2. I have some scripts relying on the value of the expanded Rev keyword (or, equivalently, the 3rd field in the output of svn status -v), and I'd like them to give the same result in all up-to-date checkouts. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks in advance. Manuel.
