Bug in svnversion?

[Kevin Hung <cy...@gmail.com>]

This seems like a bug in svnversion.

I have the following directory and file structure.

root -- d1 -- f1.txt

root -- d2 - f2.txt

d1 and d2 are directories. f1 and f2 are files.

d2 is actually an external.

If I make changes to f2.txt and run "svnversion ." at the root directory, I
got a revision number without the letter M. I expect the letter M since I
make changes to f2.txt.

This behavior doesn't surprise me in light of what the svnbook says  
about disjoint working copies and svn:externals:

<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externals.html>

[...] The working copies created via the externals definition support  
are still disconnected from the primary working copy (on whose  
versioned directories the svn:externals property was actually set).  
And Subversion still only truly operates on non-disjoint working  
copies. So, for example, if you want to commit changes that you've  
made in one or more of those external working copies, you must run  
svn commit explicitly on those working copies—committing on the  
primary working copy will not recurse into any external ones.


If this *is* intended behavior, perhaps a mention of this in the  
svnbook's section on svnversion would be appropriate.


Out of curiosity, I looked up the documentation of  
svn_wc_revision_status(...) but there's nothing there that pointed  
out the bit about not crossing svn:externals boundaries.  Presumably,  
this is because it's a natural consequence of svn's design.

Actually, I take that back.  B. Smith nailed it

I think you want 'svn status .'

d2 is an svn:external, i.e. d2 is somewhere in the same repository.

After changing f2.txt, I run "svnversion ." at the root directory. I expect
svnversion to tell me that there is modification but it does not. I did not
run svn commit.

Could you pls. provide more details ?

What do you mean "d2 is external" ? is it external to Subversion i.e
not yet part of repository ?

After changing f2.txt, did you run svnvresion or svn commit ?
