Hi,
I have a question regarding the right behavior of info and status commands on
file externals and new files resisting in 'X'-folders. This is what I do:
jruhe@wheezy:~$ svn co
svn://wheezy.wks.berl.axway.int/ms_automatic/mapping_services/projects/scratch%20pad/DML_EMPTY
A DML_EMPTY/Documentation
A DML_EMPTY/Testdata
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects
A DML_EMPTY/Business Documents
A DML_EMPTY/Maps
A DML_EMPTY/.project
A DML_EMPTY/project.ms
A DML_EMPTY/Mapping Flows
U DML_EMPTY
Fetching external item into 'DML_EMPTY/Business Documents/D12B_ORDERS.bdoc':
A DML_EMPTY/Business Documents/D12B_ORDERS.bdoc
Checked out external at revision 7.
Fetching external item into 'DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/occurs.var':
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/occurs.var
Checked out external at revision 6.
Fetching external item into 'DML_EMPTY/Maps/D12B_ORDERS.mdm':
A DML_EMPTY/Maps/D12B_ORDERS.mdm
Checked out external at revision 8.
Fetching external item into 'DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl':
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl
Checked out external at revision 6.
Checked out revision 10.
jruhe@wheezy:~$ touch DML_EMPTY/Extended\ Objects/customer1/new_file.txt
jruhe@wheezy:~$ svn status --depth=infinity DML_EMPTY/
X DML_EMPTY/Business Documents/D12B_ORDERS.bdoc
X DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1
X DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/occurs.var
X DML_EMPTY/Maps/D12B_ORDERS.mdm
As you can see, both the external 'T_D12B.tbl' (that is responsible for
'customer1' folder being created) is ignored by status and the same applies to
the newly created file 'new_file.txt'. Consequently, you can verify this by...
jruhe@wheezy:~$ svn status DML_EMPTY/Extended\ Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl
svn: E155010: The node '/home/jruhe/DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1' was
not found.
Curiously, info gives you an answer:
jruhe@wheezy:~$ svn info DML_EMPTY/Extended\ Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl
Path: DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl
Name: T_D12B.tbl
Working Copy Root Path: /home/jruhe/DML_EMPTY

One could imagine now, that we can bring back both ignored files back into the
game using svn add:
svn add DML_EMPTY/Extended\ Objects/customer1/
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1/new_file.txt
svn: warning: W150002: '/home/jruhe/DML_EMPTY/Extended
Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl' is already under version control
svn: E200009: Could not add all targets because some targets are already
versioned
svn: E200009: Illegal target for the requested operation
Not very smoothly, but worked out:
jruhe@wheezy:~$ svn status DML_EMPTY/
X DML_EMPTY/Business Documents/D12B_ORDERS.bdoc
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1
X DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1/T_D12B.tbl
A DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/customer1/new_file.txt
X DML_EMPTY/Extended Objects/occurs.var
X DML_EMPTY/Maps/D12B_ORDERS.mdm
I have not tested nested 'X'-folders and their behavior.
My only question is, whether it is expected behavior, that all files inside
'X'-folders are ignored by the status command until those folders are svn-added?
Greetings,
Julian
