How to identify revision where a file was deleted?
If I know a file existed at some revision in the past, R, and know it
was subsequently deleted, what is the best practice for identifying
the revision in which it was deleted?
I'm aware that I can run "svn log -r<R>:HEAD" on a directory above the
level of the deleted file and parse the log output to answer the
question. But this is a bit cumbersome. Is there another way?
Thanks
Kylo

This came up for me several months ago. I'm currently using 1.4.6 on a
Windows XP box.
I came to that conclusion that, without scripting, there is no another
way. Furthermore, if the file no longer exists because the folder was
deleted, parsing the log can be very tedious and error prone.
Here is the script I came up with...Windows batch file. Not very speedy
but it got me the answer I needed.
Can't guarentee that it's bug free but it worked enough for me...and
handles both cases where a file was deleted or a folder.

@echo off
if .%1 equ . goto usage
if .%2 equ . goto usage
if .%3 equ . goto usage
for /f "tokens=1,2*" %%I in ('svn info %2') do (
if /I .%%I equ .revision: set revision=%%J
)
echo/
echo Searching for revision where %1 was deleted...
echo Check starts at revsion %3 and may go as high as %revision%
set lastgoodrev=
for /L %%I in (%3, 1, %revision% ) do (
for /f "tokens=1,2* delims=:" %%K in ('svn info --revision %%I
%2/%1@%%I 2^>^&1' ) do (
if /I "%%K" equ "http" (
goto done
) else (
set lastgoodrev=%%I
)
)
)
Echo %1 was not deleted!
goto exit
:not_found
echo/
echo %1 doesn't exist at revision %3
goto exit
:Usage
echo %0 - [file] [url] [start rev]
echo Where:
echo file = qualified file to search for (no leading slash or drive
letter )
echo/
echo url = url to Check
echo/
echo start rev = Starting revision number.
echo/
echo Ex: %0 mydir/include/thisfile.h http://server/repo/trunk 653
echo/
echo Repetitively executes:
echo svn info --revision x
http://server/repo/trunk/mydir/include/thisfile.h@x
echo where x is the revision being checked.
goto exit
:done
if "%lastgoodrev%" equ "" goto not_found
set /A delrev=%lastgoodrev% + 1
echo ...%1 was deleted in revision %delrev%
echo/
:exit

I used the wrong filename for my test. It doesn't work. Sorry for the
spreading of false hope and the corresponding spurious spike in the
world happiness coefficient. =/

Peg revisions. If you know the file existed in Rev 1234, then:
svn log --limit 1 -r HEAD:1234 svn://server/repos/a/b/c/foo.java@1234
This worked for me in 1.4.5.
