Need clarification on versioning
Hi there,
Let me to introduce first. I am Deepan, working as a system
administrator in Anadocs IT Solutions. First of all, I must say thanks
for your mail supporting option and this is a great help for SVN users.
I am trying to make my users to work on SVN and they are using CVS
right now. I have some questions to get clarified to make them use SVN.
Here is my questions,
1. One of the user told me that the version number allocating in SVN is
different than CVS. For Example, If I add a file in a repository, that
file will be labelled as version 1. But in SVN If I add a file, the
file has been allocated with a version 20 (20 refers my current version
number of whole repository). Is that true? How can I find or make SVN
to set verison 1 to the newly added files in repository?
2. I am using smart svn as my SVN client. Is there any option to find
the difference between the locally checked out file and the file in the
server (Only for a particular file)? I guess, I should not ask this
question to you, but it will be helpful for me If you answer me this
question too.
Thanks in advance for your help and I would like to appreciate your help.
Regards,
Deepan.R

Short answer: You cannot. Period.

Just a tip: If you are the administrator of the svn repository. start
learning subversion by using the command line client first.
You will learn much faster about the concepts behind subversion. Once
you are familiar with subversion, you can switch over to a particular
client.
This is - IMHO - much better than doing it the other way around.

Hello Deepan,
please have a look at the free SVN book at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/index.html
1. Version Numbers
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.forcvs.html
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.revs
2. Diff
Generally "svn diff" as it can compare a path in your working copy with
an URL of your server.
see http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.ref.svn.c.diff.html

Yes, it is true, there's nothing you can do about it. What makes the
number "1" any more special than the number "20" ?
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#globalrev covers this.

No idea. You'll need to ask on any SmartSVN mailing list.
