What about some of my posts?

[Mathias Weinert <ma...@gfa-net.de>]

Hi there,

I made some posts during the last weeks and didn't get any
feedback on them. I wonder why I didn't get any because on other
posts I always got feedback very fast (Thank you very much for
this!). Is it because you aren't interested in these topics? Do
you think "Oh no, it's him again, sending something making no
sense"? Is it just a matter of time and a great number of posts
arriving at the dev list every day? Or is it something completely
different?

I would be very happy if you could send me some reply to my posts
(I even would be happy if you said "That's nonsense because...").

So here the list of posts for which I am still waiting for
feedback and hopefully get some:

Re: [PATCH] mailer.py
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-02/0293.shtml
Another patch for mailer.py

[PATCH] pre-update and pre-getfile hook
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-02/0304.shtml
New hooks pre-update and pre-getfile

Inconsistent way of showing added/deleted trees (?)
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-02/0853.shtml
I find the output of different commands inconsistent

Thank you very much for your help and any opinions regarding
the above posts.

BTW we are now using Subversion for one productional
repository (migrated from CVS) and others will follow.
I find it a wonderful piece of software and can't wait to
get new revisions with new features!
Thank you very much to all of you for your hard and good work!!!

Mathias

OK - my personal reactions to the messages in question were:

I feel that the design proposed is somewhat inelegant, but I don't have
any clear ideas on how to make it better. I left the message alone
hoping other people might have less clouded opinions.

The efficiency implications are major, and the extreme inelegance of
forcing the user to essentially do access control in two different ways,
just because of details of Subversion's internals, is quite unpleasant.
I realized I didn't have anything more productive to say than "This
scares me. I won't be involving myself in this feature", and left the
message well alone, hoping someone else would have something more useful
to say about it.

Personally, I've had to resort to skimming Subject lines, and ignoring
messages that don't catch my interest from time to time, in order to
avoid accumulating a huge backlog of mail. This was one of them.

Looking at it now, I'm inclined to say that the difference between add
and copy follows naturally from the intrinsic nature of those
operations, and the inconsistency of delete sometimes showing children
and sometimes not is just weird.
