disappearing tags
Hello,
I have a project called "rem", with the standard structure.
rem/trunk
rem/tags/release-0.3
rem/tags/release-0.4
rem/tags/release-0.5
I just created the 0.5 tag. Now, the project has been renamed, so in addition
to renaming a lot of files, I also renamed the rem directory. Now it's...
MiProf/trunk
MiProf/tags/release-0.3
MiProf/tags/release-0.4
Umm, where did release-0.5 go??
Help appreciated. I tried an svn up, but it's up to date.
Mike

Check the log. If your repository is $REPO, try:
svn log -v $REPO/MiProf --stop-on-copy
Maybe that'll show too much output, I'm not sure... but it should
show you what was copied from where. Presumably you'll see that the
0.5 release tag was not copied.
The reason for this could be that you had a working copy of maybe the
whole repository checked out? And you did this move in that working
copy? And you didn't run "svn up" on the root directory before doing
so? Presumably that would mean that the revision of the rem directory
when you did the move was before the revision in which the 0.5
release tag existed, so it was not copied with the rest of it.
One solution now would be to copy the 0.5 release tag from the old
URL to the new one with something like
svn cp \
$REPO/rem/tags/release-0.5@$FOO \
$REPO/MiProf/tags \
-m "Re-adding 0.5 release tag"
where $FOO is a revision in which the 0.5 release tag still existed.
I'm a little worried though that maybe some other changes weren't
copied either. It could depend on how long ago you last ran "svn up"
on that root directory. It might be better to just delete the entire
MiProf directory and do the copy again, "properly." By "properly" I
don't mean that there was anything wrong with the way you did it,
it's just that you have to make sure the directories are up-to-date
in the working copy before doing so, and as you see that's easy to
forget. I'd try:
svn rm \
$REPO/MiProf \
-m "Deleting incorrectly-copied MiProf project"
svn cp \
$REPO/rem@$BAR \
$REPO/MiProf \
-m "Renaming rem to MiProf"
where $BAR is the last revision in which rem existed.
The recommended practice is not to check out the entire repository --
this gets unwieldy as you start getting a lot of branches or tags.
Usually you should just check out the part of the repository you need
to use -- like the trunk. And if you need to work on a branch, then
you can "svn switch" to it, do the work in the branch, and then
switch back to the trunk.

As I said, I renamed rem to MiProf. Hence, rem was deleted and MiProf was
added. Renaming a directory should of course leave the directory contents
unchanged.

Hmmm, as far as I understand these things, r273 says that entire
"/mitel/rem" was deleted, including the "/mitel/rem/tags/release-0.5" and
all others I guess. Or something rather strange is going on indeed. I'm
not too familiar with CLI client, but 'R' flag seems to be WC only, so are
you sure you commited all the changes?

Odd thing is, my checked-out sandbox at work shows the release-0.5 directory,

And what exactly does
svn log -v http://www.example.com/repo/
say about rem/tags/release-0.5 or MiProf/tags/release-0.5 ?
