using $Header $ and $Log $
Using CVS we put this at the top of our java files ...
We migrated to svn and this does not seem to do the trick,
I assume svn has a similar capability ...what are we missing.
Also old file which have header and log histories from cvs are
not updated with log info from svn.
We can't seem to find this documented ... Please shed some light on this ... thanks.
Greg

Subversion doesn't support these keywords. Sorry about that. See the
following URL for information about what keywords *are* supported:

Since you didn't state what portion of $Header$ you were using, I
couldn't speculate about what to suggest as an alternative. You will
need to rewrite any reports to hit the appropriate URL's for the
Subversion repository.
However, since Subversion is not file-based like CVS, your reports can
probably be more easily generated by using:
svn log \
http://server/path/to/old/release \
http://server/path/to/new/release
(beware linewraps). In other words, if you are following the suggested
repository layout for Subversion, instead of trying to use your CVS
model, you can get a log between two tags directly, rather than querying
each file individually.

$HeadURL$ is the only way to the the path information for a given file.
It is more consistent than the equivalent RCS information presented
from CVS since it is the actual URL needed to retrieve the log
information, as opposed to the relative pathname within the RCS/CVS
repository.

John,
Thanks for getting back on this subject, but there is some clarification on
it:
$Header$ is not the same as $Id$.
$Id$ does not have the path. $Header$ does (I just checked with the CVS docs
on this) and that's the only diff.
My script actually uses that field(filepath) to open the repository for the
file
It then retrieves the revision info(history/log) between an old build of a
program and the newest one.
It then generates reports from these results so we can confirm what went
into a build.
I guess what I'm getting to is that $Header$ keeps some "path" to its
location in the repository and
that it be consistent,eg, $HeadURL$ should be used for the "file" portion.
thanks for looking into this.

I'm working on a patch to Subversion which will allow for site specific
custom keywords, but it will not support any multiline keyword
(specifically $Log$). The $Header$ keyword in CVS is equivalent to $Id$
in Subversion (if you really need the full file path, use $HeadURL in
addition).

RE: using $Header $ and $Log $
Posted by Stuart Arnold <sj...@mdtsoft.com>.
We use the $Header: $ and $History: $ as well (currently under VSS, migrating to SVN).
We do NOT use the $Id:$ because of the various interpretations of it in different RCS systems (file name only, no path).
All systems I've seen have supported "$Header: $"
We also USE this tag by running "ident" on the .exe/.dll and have a perl script
that grabs the embedded id and makes a report on the differences (it gets the history from vss).
This helps to see what actually got in our builds.
We are very new to SVN (official start date is next week) and are looking at any possible problems.
This will be a high one. So, how/who can implement putting in this keyword?
BTW-
Don't put this vital keyword in comments. It doesn't do any good. Use this (for C)
static char rcsid_my_filename_cpp[] = "$Header: $";
You want to be able to get this tag out of any compiled code (exe/dll). Be careful on "included" files to make them "safe named".
