Dear Subversion users, The root cause of my question is the need to automatically process the commit logs to generate a proper ChangeLog. In order to really list all modifications done, I have got to use svn log --use-merge-history. Since this command is based on the property svn:mergeinfo, it lists all merged revisions, even those which were added by svn merge --record-only. In other words, it lists some modifications which were not actually done. Looking for a solution to this issue, I discovered the existence of the tool svnmerge.py. If I understand well how it used to work, two lists of changesets were maintained in subversion properties, so that it kept track of the changesets blocked. I have noticed that this tool has been removed from subversion 1.8, yet svn merge appears not to be a one-to-one replacement for it, since it looses track of the "recorded only" changesets. Am I missing something ? Is there any way to segregate the recorded only changesets from the other with the svn commands ?
I know some of you may answer that using --record-only is bad practice, but I am working on a project where it is used intensively, and it would be very hard to rollback on these habits. By the way, my guess is that as long as the option is provided, the other commands should be consistent with its behaviour. Has anyone already met this kind of issue ? Thanks in advance for any piece of help or advice, Philippe
