Labels in SVN ?
Does anyone know what's the best way to put a small label in a subdir
( connectors/util and
connectors/http11 ). I don't want to label anything else - I need this
to track changes for the sandbox version. Is SVN tag the same as in
cvs ?

I was not sure if you can tag a small subtree ( connectors/util/java )
, or only the entire connectors/.
I think I'll just do diffs by date - it's probably easier.

Copies are cheap in SVN, so tags are just copies. And in a similar
manner to CVS branches are just tags that you start making changes to.
What I suggest is that I make the following SVN changes:
- create /sandbox/trunk, /sandbox/tags, /sandbox/branches
- move the current contents of /sandbox to /sandbox/trunk
Then when you want to make a tag you just do a copy of the form
svn copy https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/sandbox/optional/path
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/sandbox/tags/nameOfTag
This way you can tag all of sandbox or just part of it.
Let me know if you want me to make the top level changes to sandbox or
if you are happy making them yourself.

What I want is to be able to do "cvs diff -r my_label_before_sandbox_copy",
so I can see what changed.
I want to keep my experiments in the sandbox - instead of a branch.

Hi,
I'm not an SVN expert, but I understanding is you have two options.
The more basic option is to branch the directory and work in your branch,
occassionally updating the tag label as you want. The relevant SVN commands
are at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-4-sect-4.4.2.
This is similar to the CVS way of doing things.
The other option is to use SVN properties. This is different from the CVS way
and it seems riskier, as there's still only one version of the file itself, but
you have labels on any file / directories you want, and the labels themselves
are version-controlled.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2
So it kind of depends on what exactly you want to do, and specifically the
probability that you will want your own branch as opposed to just tracking
labels and other metadata...
