[PATCH] meta-data-versioning for 1.2.0rc2
Hello everybody!
Here's an updated patch-set for 1.2.0rc2.
This set of patches allows versioning of modification date,
owner, group, and unix-mode (permissions) for files and directories.
You can apply:
- escape-seq: allows use of \n, \r, \???, \x?? in the config file.
- dir-auto-props: see discussion at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=subversion-dev&m=111175371732265&w=2
issue with example is at http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1989
This patch needs escape-seq to be useful.
- owner-group-mode: versioning of the meta-data-properties (including mtime)
see http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/branches/meta-data-versioning/README.TXT?view=markup
- The "complete"-patch has all of the above in one patch -
so don't apply the others when using this one.
I did a "make check CLEANUP=true FS_TYPE=fsfs" for the complete patch and
found some small issues, which I'll try to address soon. (Volunteers wanted!)
Questions, remarks etc. please to dev@subversion.tigris.org with cc to me.
Regards,
Phil

I think your interpretation is correct: no developers (or anyway, no
committers) are interested. It's nothing personal, of course -- it's
just that the feature apparently isn't compelling to us. Some of us
may even have said this explicitly when you started, if I recall
correctly, while others have said the same by their silence.
So, you are basically alone in a desert. I believe that if some
committer wanted to take an interest in this work, they would have
done so by now.
The question for you, Philipp is: do you want to continue, knowing
this? It's totally your call. The changes you have made so far will
never be lost, since they're in the repository. But I don't see any
sign that they will be integrated into the mainline. (I'm happy to be
proven wrong, of course, just expressing my doubts of that happening.)
How you would like to deal with this situation is up to you.
Best,
-Karl

I knew that somebody would ask that :-)
IIRC
- dir-auto-props won't be merged because we don't know how we should handle
svn:ignore (multiple pattern would require newlines), and
- escape-seq won't be merged because it still translates the complete file
(which is cleaner IMO, and I didn't find a nice way to only change the
auto-props).
- text-time and owner-group-mode still have their old log message; they got
just a small bugfix for deleted directories - see revs 14462 and 14463.
So, I can repost the patches with log messages, no problem.
But to be honest, I have a slight feeling of standing alone in a desert with
the users wanting/needing these feature creeping up behind me (if you
understand what I mean - see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=subversion-dev&m=111454604801106&w=2 for
John's rant :-)
I see some need for this (just looking into my inbox), and I have the feeling
that nobody's really interested.
Of course, it wasn't done in concordance with the developers wishes - but
getting no advice I did it the way I could.
Sorry for pestering.
Regards,
Phil
