using revision numbers in external system
Hi,
I would like to be able to rollback to a specific revision using an
external system. So my thinking is to store the revision number in a
table, and if I need to go back I can call "svn export -r
$rs['revisionNumber'] file:///myrepos/projectA"
However I can see that there are commands that cause renumbering of
revisions, however it would seem to me that as long as I don't delete
earlier revisions in the live repository, that they would not get
renumbered.
Is this the case? and to what degree can I rely on revision numbers on
external systems.
Thanks,
Tom H

I think he's referring to svndumpfilter.

The only thing that can go back in time and renumber old revisions
(that I'm aware of) is if you manually remove revisions from the
repository. This is a non-trivial, rather difficult maneuver, and
it's strongly discouraged that one even do it.
What other commands do you think you have found that can renumber revisions?
