tags on module alias in svn
Hello,
We are running a large scale conversion from cvs to svn and have a
conceptional difficulty:
Short question: How to support module alias in svn, especially tagging?
Explanation:
We have a cvs repository with a number of modules[eg: mod_1 ... mod_n]
some tags contains more than one module [eg. Tag TEST_TAG contains mod_1,
mod_2]. cvs2svn converts repositorys correct, so I have in my tags/ folder
a new tag /tags/TEST_TAG/ with two modules inside.
But if I want to create a new tag from trunk containing mod_1, mod_2, I
can copy only /trunk/mod_1 and trunk/mod_2 successively, but this collides
with my convention never to comit to an existing tag which is handled by a
hook-script. In "svn mkdir" I can specify more than 1 directory to create.
Is similar possible with svn cp ?
How can I provide a possibility to create a tag containing more than one
"modules" [directorys beneath trunk] ?
Thanx in advance,
Lutz Dornbusch

Argh... looking into it further, this is not what you want either.
It would be closer to...
mucc cp head http://repo/trunk/mod_1 http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2/mod_1 \
cp head http://repo/trunk/mod_2 http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2/mod_2
But /tags/TEST_TAG2 would have to exist first. The mucc in trunk has the
option of doing a 'mkdir' changing the command to...
mucc mkdir http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2 \
cp head http://repo/trunk/mod_1 http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2/mod_1 \
cp head http://repo/trunk/mod_2 http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2/mod_2
but to do this with a 1.4.x client under one commit, I'm not sure...

I think what you might want to use is 'mucc'. It allows you to batch
copy, move, and delete commands as one transaction. It comes with
subversion as a contrib client-side tool and to make it simply type:
make mucc
at the root of your subversion source code tree. So my guess as to what
you would need to do is the following:
mucc cp head http://repo/trunk/mod_1 http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2 \
cp head http://repo/trunk/mod_2 http://repo/tags/TEST_TAG2
The above should copy your two modules from trunk into one tag called
TEST_TAG2 in one transaction without violating your hook script.
