Which Function to call in order to get absolute path of working copy root node?

[Ruchir Arya <ru...@gmail.com>]

Hello Everybody,

I am a student and i focus on open source projects.
Currently i am implementing a feature in subversion, however, i am unable
to find a function which i can call to get the absolute path of my working 
copy root node.

For example: Suppose my working copy is "test" which is stored in 
"/home/user/Desktop" directory.
My ".svn" is stored in "/home/user/Desktop/test/" directory.

So is there any function which i can just call and get the absolute path of 
my working copy which is
"/home/user/Desktop/test" even if i am in any nested directory inside my 
working directory.

Replies will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Ruchir Arya

I'm not sure that's a reasonable request, as it appears the message was 
sent via the Google Groups interface to our mailing list, and *that* system 
determined how the message is addressed. (I'm sending this reply through 
GG's "reply to all", to see how the reply is addressed.)

To prevent duplicated effort, implementing a design that we won't
be able to accept, etc.  There's a bunch of reasons why that's a
good practice.

If you intend to contribute that feature, you might want to discuss it
with us before you get too far along implementing it.

Check what 'svn info --show-item=wc-root' does.  (You can start in
svn_cl__info() in subversion/svn/info-cmd.c.)

In the future please use the correct address of this mailing list, see
https://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists
