SVN::Client->log problem

["Christopher H. Laco" <cl...@chrislaco.com>]

This may be just a stupid user trick, but I'll ask anyways. I can't seem
to be able to get the log entry for a revision of a file that's been
copied to a tag/branch, but I cant get the entry for the main file in
trunk just fine.

Here's and example. Let's say I have just one file in trunk, and have
copied trunk into tags:

http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/foo.txt
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt

Both files are at revision 22.

Now, here's the simple perl:

> use strict;
> use warnings;
> use SVN::Core;
> use SVN::Client;
> 
> my $client = SVN::Client->new(auth => [SVN::Client::get_simple_provider()]);
> 
> $client->log(
>     ['http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/foo.txt'],
>     22,
>     22,
>     0,
>     0,
>     \&_process_log
> );
> 
> 
> sub _process_log {
>     my @logs = @_;
>     warn join ', ', @logs;
> };

As is, I get the last log entry just fine.
Now, if I change http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/foo.txt  to be
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt

I get this instead:

> HTTP Path Not Found: REPORT request failed on '/svn/!svn/bc/22/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt': '/svn/!svn/bc/22/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt' path not found

Both urls from the top work in a browser, so the files are there as far
as WEBDEV is concerned, and svn log -r22 works on both urls as well.

Changing the $discover_changed_paths and/or $strict_node_history options
has no effect.

What am I missing here?

This is under 1.2.0 on the client/server.

Thanks,

This gets somewhat stranger.

Doing alist operation, SVN::Client->ls on >
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01 returns an entry for the file >
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt at revision 22.
However, the revision for > http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01
after the copy is 33, with an entry of "made a copy".

If I change the code above to:

> $client->log(
>     ['http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt'],
>     33,
>     22,
>     0,
>     0,
>     \&_process_log
> );

I get the log entry for the copy, and the log entry for the revision 22
of the file in tags/0.01.

If I can get http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/foo.txt revision 22
from within http://example.com/svn/project/trunk/ revision 32 by
specifying revision 22, why can't I get
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01/foo.txt revision 22 from
http://example.com/svn/project/tags/0.01 revision 33 by specifying
revision 22?

Is that a bug, a feature, or a severe misunderstanding of getting a log
entry on my part?
