svn diff -rHEAD empty when file is locked (bug?)

[Gal Aviel <ga...@yahoo.com>]

Hello List,

svn diff -rHEAD seems to report no diff even though there is one, when the 
file is locked.

Try : 
- svn lock file.txt
- echo "just a change" >> file.txt
- svn diff -rHEAD file.txt (get nothing)
- svn unlock file.txt
- svn diff -rHEAD file.txt (get actual diff)
- svn lock file.txt
- svn diff -rHEAD file.txt (get nothing again)

Suprisingly enough, tkdiff seems to not suffer from this and gives correct 
readings in the above case, regardless of lock.

Searching the Bug database does not reveal any similar bug. (should I submit 
one?)

VERSIONS : svn 1.3.2 compiled from source on Linux i386 RHEL 3. (I will 
try to compile 1.4 to see if the problem persists)

Any Help is appreciated :)

thanks - Gal.

Guys,

The problem goes away with 1.4.0 compiled from source. So no need to open a 
bug report :)

Thanks very much for your help and support, which I value greatly!

thanks -Gal.

I tried reproducing this with 1.3.2 and 1.4.0; looks like it is fixed in 1.4.0.

My script was:

svnadmin create repos
svn co file://`pwd`/repos wc
cd wc
touch foo
svn add foo
svn ci -m ""
svn lock foo
echo "change" > foo
svn diff -rHEAD foo

With 1.3.2 it does not show any diff.
With 1.4.0 it correctly shows"+change" diff.

I can't reproduce this with a trunk client.  Can you try with 1.4, and
if you can reproduce it, could you please provide a set of commands
that show the problem starting from an empty repository?  That would
make it much easier to debug.
