svnlook & perl question

[Taras <ta...@shaw.ca>]

Hello,
I'm looking for some clues on how to get subversion to tell me what's in 
a repository. So far I've been using svnlook to show me changed files in 
a particular revision. However it behaves strangely on directory renames.
For example renaming a dir "zoo" with 2 files in it to "a0" produces the 
following changes
A   vancouver_island/a0/
D   vancouver_island/zoo/

So I'm at all at how to catch directory renames. If one tries to do 
multiple directory renames in one commit, how would my script be able to 
figure out which directories got renamed?

I also tried to use svnlook tree command, but it produces strange 
version numbers and I'm not sure how to handle them. Is there any 
documentation explaining the format of the revision strings?
I looked into the perl bindings but there is next to no documentation on 
them and the code seems pretty hard to understand. is there an example 
anywhere on how to list all files in a repository using pure perl?

That's because a subversion move is actually a copy + delete.

If you run 'svn log -v', you'll see much the same thing, except that you
can tell a copy from a normal add because it shows the copy source.

 D /trunk/subversion/libsvn_wc/get_editor.c
 A /trunk/subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c 
                (from /trunk/subversion/libsvn_wc/get_editor.c:1315)


By the way, if you just want to "browse" a repository, that's why we
have the 'svn ls' command, or svn_client_list() API.
