New revision keyword for easier branch management
Hello!
A month ago Patrik Rak proposed to introduce new keyword
for version where a file was copied.
The idea it could be used like this
svn merge -rTAIL:HEAD /branches/abranch/afile
eliminating the need to do svn log --stop-on-copy
before.
This feature is handy and sometimes it is essential
(e.g subclipse does not support --stop-on-copy).
Is there any hope it would be implemented once?
Is it scheduled for a feature release or
something?
Thanks.

Yes, I think this is enough as a description.
Couldn't find any RFE on the issue tracker, but not confident I searched hard enough.
To open a can of worms... if we had client-side hooks, we could write a hook that gets executed
before a merge to export $TAIL, then:
svn merge -r$TAIL:HEAD /branches/branch-foo/ trunk/
Now I do more or less the same, keeping a "database" of last merged revisions for a given branch. It
is error prone and needs discipline.
If somebody is interested, I can put my HOWTO on my website or post it here.
Kalin.

That thread has the same subject -
"New revision keyword for easier branch management".
Could be found here
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-11/index.shtml#1241
TAIL should be the same revision as log with --stop-on-copy
stops at. Not sure this description is complete while
I cannot makeup anything to add.

Do you have a complete description of the proposed feature (or, say, a
link to Patrik Rak's original mail)? That would help. We need to
understand the edge cases before implementing something like this.

Looks cool.
It's great news Subclipse is not a showstopper anymore.
Though I still think new keyword TAIL can facilate life of SVN's users.
Any ideas would it be implemented at all?

Subclipse has supported stop on copy since the 0.9.100 release. Check the
Subclipse release announcements for details.
You might also want to look at this, which is also in the current version:
