Hi all,
I'm distributing software directly using SVN and the working copy
contians a configuration file which needs to contain some absolute
path to a special dir in that working copy. The goal is to not need to
commit that path of course, but automatically generate it during a
checkout/update. I had a look at the new custom kewords in SVN 1.8[1]
already, but didn't find any local working copy related path.
So, is there such a local working copy path available and I only
didn't find it yet?
If not, any plans to provide such a path I didn't find yet? I was not
even able to find discussion in that direction, but doubt I'm the
first one with such question.
Thanks!

Yes, you're the first one asking for this, AFAIK :-).
But I don't understand what you're trying to do. You want to include
the WC-root-relative path to *another dir* inside some config file,
while you're checking out or updating that config file? That's weird.
The keywords in SVN are only able to include information that's
directly related to the file in question, not information about
another file or dir.
But regardless, this sounds to me more like something you should solve
with a build script or somesuch ...
Hi
I think this use case is similar to ours, the way we solved it, was
adding a config file one directory above the svn root folder, that's not
tracked
If subversion supported post checkout / update command execution in the
client side, or if a tracked file could be excluded from commit changes
on the client side, much better solutions could be implemented in our
case as well
One alternative that we've considered was generating the config file
when the application starts, and ignoring it by name, but we have not
implemented this
I hope this helps
Best regards,
Peter
