Solution to File corruption

[Lakshman Srilakshmanan <la...@tradingpost.com.au>]

Hi All,

First let me thank you for your suggestions.
Steve hit the nail on the head.

Sensis_Classifieds_J2EE_Framework.doc file contains the keywords
$Author$ and $Revision$. It is included as an example of what the
developers should include in their source code. It appears this is
corrupting the file when subversion tries to replace these keywords. I
did not have this problem in CVS as CVS does not attempt to replace
keywords in binary files.

Is this a bug ? I would not expect subversion to try and substitute
keywords in a binary file.

Secondly is the work-around, to set svn:keywords explicitly on files we
explicitly need keyword substitution.

Thanks
Lakshman

Hi Steve

I have listed the property of both files. The only difference I can see
is the file size.
One is 500Kb the other one is 170KB.

Please find listed below the property on 2 files. 
One gets corrupted (Sensis_Classifieds_J2EE_Framework.doc) the other is
fine (Sensis_Classifieds_Logging.doc)

Are there any file size limitation?

Maybe you still have the svn:keywords property set and only one document

contains the keywords.

Please don't start a new mail when you are in fact following up to an existing 
discussion. How should anyone know what you are talking about?

You told Subversion to replace keywords and it did so, that's not a bug.

It's not a workaround. Don't tell Subversion to substitute keywords unless you 
want it to substitute keywords.
