Track Document Version Number (Not SVN Revision) with easy searching

[Ong Leong Seng <ac...@comcrazy.info>]

Hi all,

The scenario is I have one SVN repos store all my project document. 
Below are the doc list.

1. User Manual (doc)
2. Project Plan (mpp)
3. Project Tracking Report (xls)
4. Risk Profile (doc)
5. ......

Before I use SVN, all document will be manually versioned after baseline 
like userdoc_v1_1.doc, projplan_v2_3.mpp ......

After using SVN, all the file name became userdoc.doc, projplan.mpp in 
order  for SVN to keep the change history.

I face a problem now, since I have commit a changes in any file for the 
repos, the SVN revision number increase one that applicable to all doc. 
If I have baseline my projplan.mpp (ver 2.4) at revision 560, projplan 
(ver 2.5) at revision 600 and after that revision has been increase to 
788 because of SVN commit.

At this point, I wish to retrieve the projplan.doc (ver 2.4) but I have 
lost track which SVN revision number is the projplan.doc (ver 2.4).

Is there any way to track the document version number in order for easy 
searching and reference?


Thank you

Cheeers,
James

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your suggestion, but something I will update 10-20 files per 
commit. If insert the doc version for every file, then is hard for me to 
search when I refer back the log to just look for a particular version.


Just wonder got any other way for quick search.

Cheers,
James

Put the document version number in the log message when committing, then 
simply view the log of that file.

svn log projplan.doc

I think you should use tagging.  You don't need to tag whole
directories.  You can also do

    svn cp trunk/foo.doc tags/foo-2.4.doc
