About copying/branching

[Christopher Brown <ch...@calligrafix.com>]

Hi,

When tagging something, e.g. tagging:

http://host/repos/trunk

as:

http://host/repos/tags/customer1/r1

...the operation failed.  By looking through logs, I figured out that I had
to make "tags", then "customer1", then "r1".

My branch command was:

svn copy http://host/repos/trunk http://host/repos/tags/customer1/r1 -m "my
log message"

Is there any way to create intermediate directories when branching like
this?  It's not too bad manually, but a bit of pest to automate.

The command works after creating intermediate folders.  However, it creates
a folder containing "trunk" inside "r1".  Could I copy "trunk"'s *contents*
into "r1"?  Didn't spot syntax for doing this in the Subversion manual.

Thanks,
Chris

P.S.: I'm using Subversion 1.0.0

You'll have to just keep creating them manually, for now. This hopefully isnt 
too much of a problem, because typically developers will keep most or all of 
their tags in one directory, or at least all the tags for a particular major 
or minor version number together.

I'm writting a tag management script called svntag (link to a very poor 
version was posted a few days ago, but its improving). I'll keep this in mind 
for the next few versions and try to put in an option like mkdir's --parents 
option. If you want, I can notify you when such a feature is available.

I've been meaning to do this for some time now, though I haven't
decided if I prefer the behavior to be automatic like that of 'svn
import' or option-enabled ala 'mkdir --parents'.  Could you file a
Feature Request in our issue tracker if there isn't one for this
already?
