Looking for help writing meta data with swig bindings

["Miller, Eric" <Er...@amd.com>]

Could someone show me an example of using the swig bindings to write
directly to the .svn/entries file?

I think I want to use svn_wc__entries_write but I can't figure out how
to call that from the swig bindings (I'm using the perl bindings atm).

Does anyone have a ready example of reading/modifying/writing the
entries data directly using the swig bindings?

For 1.4 working copies, it's one bit of info per line, with individual
entries separated by formfeed characters.  Stupid simple.  I don't even have
to know you to have faith that you can pull this off.  :-)

Yeah.. that's what I figured.

Yep, running into a couple of cases where the client api's just aren't
robust enough in our crazy working copies.  I was trying to avoid
writing a parser (didn't want to get bit by another format switch) but I
suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Thanks for the comments.

Functions with double underscores (svn_wc*__*entries_write) are not public
API functions, and therefore are not exposed through our language bindings
interfaces.

This is strongly discouraged.  But inevitably folks will find a need for
directly editing the .entries files.  Fortunately, the 1.4 entries format is
super-simple to parse and write -- if you can read and understand
libsvn_wc/entries.c:write_entry() and read_entry(), you're golden.
