Difference between "changed" and "dirs-changed" in svnlook?
I'm hacking on the commit-access-control.pl ACL script to try and
provide a slightly finer grain of control (does anyone know when ACLs
will be implemented in the subversion, btw?), and I noticed the program
does an "svnlook dirs-changed" before it does an "svnlook changed".
What I want to know is this: Is there any information in the
"dirs-changed" output that doesn't show up in the "changed" output? As
near as I can tell from a little playing around, there isn't. I can get
all the changed information by just doing an "svnlook changed".
Am I right here? Thanks in advance.
PS: And if I am right, does anyone know why the example code does both?

I checked with property changes, and those show up in the "changed"
output, too. So I took the "dirs-changed" section out.

That would be awesome. Thanks! I mostly was talking about restricting
users to only specific actions (read, write, create, delete).
Regrettably, copy is just a create, and move is a create and delete, so
those two more complicated actions can't be managed independently.
That's why I'm hoping subsequent versions of subversion allow that level
of control.

Cool. I break compatibility (at least with the access type), but pretty
much retained everything else. Thanks again!

I can't answer the specific question, but I wrote my own version of
the commit-access-control.pl hook, and I didn't use the dirs-changed
subcommand of svnlook in my version.
Maybe properties on directories don't show up with "svnlook changed"
but will on "svnlook dirs-changed"? I'm guessing by the description,
but I've used my script since SVN 1.2 came out, and never noticed any
problems.
BTW, if you're interested, I'll be glad to share my version. It allows
for group definitions, property values checking, checking the commit
comment (svn:log), and whether the file names are legal or not.
(Prevents someone from creating a file "con.log" which is valid on
Unix, but not on Windows). It also has a add-only mode which was the
whole reason I wrote it. I wanted people to be able to make tags, but
not modify them.
I'm not sure what you mean by finer grain, but you can easily specify
individual files with mine if you want to get that detailed.
Like the original, it uses a control file to set the permissioning and
values to check. In fact, I wrote mine to keep it more or less
compatible with the original version.
