Change all existing static externals in tags from operative to peg?

[Axel S <li...@glemsk.net>]

Hello,

We have some shared libraries, and these are referenced as static 
externals in all tagged versions of our different projects.

After reorganizing the directory structure of our shared libraries, I 
see that all tagged versions now gives an error. I realised that the 
externals should have been referenced by using peg revision (@X) instead 
of operative revision (-r X).

We have hundreds of tagged versions, and inside these there are 
two-three different external references.

How can I recursively change the external definitions from operative to 
peg in my tags directories? I imagine I will need some sort of shell 
script to do the job, preferably without checking out the whole repo...

Best Regards,
Axel

It worked by running 'svn propget svn:externals -R repoURL' and then 
using is as a basis for creating a controlfile and feeding it to svnmucc.

As far as I could see, noe externals were omitted from the svn propget 
output.

Thanks for your help.

I definitely had the problem, but for obvious reason I can't provide
a small repo that exhibits this behaviour, and lacking ideas as to why
this happens, I'm not interestet in taking the time to come up with
a big reproduction. And without that, no bug.

don't know, never tried it.

But I can't remember anyone posting about a problem either

Does that actually work again on big repositories?
It used not to, and just omit some.

you can use:

	svn propget svn:externals -R repoURL

to get all external definitions.
