I need your help with "labeling" scenario

[Stefan Turalski <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I know that it is rather users group than support, but I need to solve
one case with svn, and really don't know where to go.

so we have sources in svn repository, the revision of HEAD is 1000,
but last changes in repositories are.
a\ - 800
b\ - 700
c\ - 856
d\ - 1000

now what I should support is to check out specific configuration:
a\ at 580 revision
b\ - newest one
c\ - 320
d\ - newest one

Only because I know these revision were good, and work properly, and
the new one could work but are tested jet. I could do it at user side
by script work. OR what I would like to do is to obtain something like
LABEL, over this set of exact revision.

What should I do ? make a branch for this set of files ? Or there is
labeling support at SVN, and I miss it?

Thanks for just reading - if you know what I could do, I need you
help, please, tell me ;-)

Well, there is a way of doing what you want. First, you should have your 
repository setup the way it is recommended: with /tags, /branches and 
/trunk. Assuming your stuff is in trunk, you can get what you want by 
doing the following:

$ svn mkdir svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag
$ svn cp -r580 svn://host/repos/trunk/a svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/a
$ svn cp svn://host/repos/trunk/b svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/b
$ svn cp -r320 svn://host/repos/trunk/c svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/c
$ svn cp svn://host/repos/trunk/d svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/d

You see, in Subversion we don't have LABELs or TAGs in another 
dimension, but we use a directory as a means of labeling a bunch of 
files. Because copies are cheap (e.g., the tag will just be stored as 
references to the actual versions of the files), this doesn't take a lot 
of storage.

HTH,
