mod_dav_svn: copy requires merge?
Hi there:
We have a subversion setup here with the
standard /trunk, /branches, /tags.
In order to insure that tags don't get modified after commit, we have,
via apache config, limited the HTTP commands that can be applied to
the /tags to the following:
LimitExcept "GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT COPY"
This works just fine unless you're trying to create another tag from a
tag:
svn cp https://svn/repos/software/tags/tag1
https://svn/repos/software/tags/tag2
This fails because of the following (excerpted from apache logs):
127.0.0.1 - someuser [23/Jul/2007:12:12:02 -0400]
"MERGE /repos/software/tags/ HTTP/1.1" 403 523
If I open up /tags for MERGE, then I won't be able to ensure that tags
remain inviolate.
Why do I see a merge here at all? The "COPY" I understand... Is there a
way around this?
-Ed

MERGE is, as far as I understand, the command to integrate the DeltaV
workspace with its baseline. I.e. it's the step to finalize the copy.
The other option is to set up svnperms.py
(http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/) and make
it reject commits which do anything other than add items to your tags
dir...

Best is probably to set up svnperms.py.

Erik.
