Force commit

[Christian Gudrian <Ch...@gmx.de>]

Hello, there!

Is it possible to force Subversion to commit a certain file everytime
"svn commit" is performed, regardless whether that particular file
contains any changes?

Reason: I want a local file (version.h) to contain the most recent
repository revision (which can then be referenced throughout the whole
program).

Any ideas how to accomplish this?

What about generating the file at export time? (You could generate the
file during build if in the WC (svnversion doesn't need access to the
repo) and just use the included file if you are in an exported tree. It
gets a little complex. Maybe someone else has a simpler idea:-)

I would like the version file to be a part of the repository, so that
exported source trees with no access to the repository still compile.

Basically the real setup is a little bit more complicated.  I compile a
small library which exposes the version information to the outer world.
It's the only module that needs to be recompiled after a commit.

The svnversion command can generate such a file. You could integrate that
into your build system, but it may force a full recompile after every
commit if you include it everywhere...
