svn_load_dirs.pl -- a new question

[Jennifer Kesterson <Je...@jpl.nasa.gov>]

Hi again,

I successfully ran the script (thanks everyone for your help) and now there 
is a new issue.  If dir1 contains sub-directories a, b, c, d, e, and dir2 
contains only c and d, the script will delete a, b, and e from the 
repository when it is loading dir2.  In this case I don't want that to 
happen because we want to keep a, b, and e as part of the baseline from 
which we will continue development.

What I want to happen is this:

Add dir1 (including a, b, c, d, e)
Add dir2 (just update c and d)
Add dir3 (just update c and d again)

Is there a simple way to modify the script to remove the delete of the 
files not included in subsequent directories, or should I just copy the 
deleted rev back into the repo?  What is the best and surest way to do this?

Thanks,
Jen

svn_load_dirs is designed to load a number of complete releases of a  
project. It sounds like what you have are not complete releases, but  
only partials.

I've never looked into the svn_load_dirs source code so I don't know  
how difficult it would be to modify it.

I don't know how complex your project structure is, but is it  
feasible to convert your directories into full releases before  
running svn_load_dirs? Following your example above, is it possible  
to copy a, b and e from dir1 into dir2 and dir3 before importing dir2  
and dir3?
