Seeing if a file is part of a tag

[Ed Hillmann <ed...@yahoo.com>]

We've been using SVN with the standad structure

/trunk/...
/branches/...
/tags/...

The items in tags are copies of the files from either
trunk or branches (depending on what version we're
releasing).

If I'm working on a file in trunk or branches, is
there an easy way to see if it's been tagged (that is,
if it exists in one of the directories in the tag
folder)?

We could see this when we were in CVS, but I can't see
how to easily see whether a file was included in a tag
without going into each of the tags and seeing if the
file is of the same revision.  But that's a bit
labor-intensive.

Thanks for any help,
Ed

That's the use case! :)

As I mentioned in a previous email, we're looking to
see if the equivalent functionality from cvs is
possible in svn.  In that, we want to see what
revisions of a file was included in various tags.

As Karl alludes, it's not always just finding the
different copies of the trunk, as tags are taken off
of branches as well.

But it is for the purpose of seeing if released code
(denoted via a tag) contains a specific revision of a
file, to determine if released code has or has not
known problems.

Karl said it better.

It sounds like it doesn't have it, and we can live
with that.  I was just attempting to make sure that
there wasn't a way of getting at this information
easily, and I just wasn't aware.

How about the use case "In which releases did we ship exactly rNNN of
file foo.c?", a question you might need to ask if you've recently
learned that foo.c contains a dangerous bug.

I've wanted this feature in Subversion for a long time, too.  Of
course, it can be implemented as an external DB outside the Subversion
repository, but it would be nice if Subversion had a way to say "Show
me all paths by which a given 'node revision' may be reached".  That
is equivalent to showing all the tags and branches it's on.

What is the use-case? What is the problem you are trying to solve,  
the question you are trying to answer?

Tags are intended to be complete copies of either trunk or a branch.  
Thus, if you create a file foo in a branch in revision R, and delete  
it later in revision R+100, then any tags created from that branch  
between revisions R and R+100 have foo, and any created before or  
after don't. Or, put another way, if you have a file foo in the  
branch, you can look at its log to see when it was created, and then  
you know that any tags of that branch created after that time contain  
it.

Or are you using tags in a different way? If so, how?

Useful for just a single tag but not to find which tag, if any, in a 
large set of tags the file exists in.

how about

svn log http://svn.mydomain.com/tags/tagnumber/project/myfile.c

If the file exists, you'll get a log. If it doesn't, you'll get "not found"
