Discrepancies in displaying log information between tortoiseSVN and svn log command?

[baz themail <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am seeing a strange behavior that I am not sure if it is correct or not.

1. I have two repositories.
2. I am trying to submit changes for users from Repo_A to Repo_B.
3. Checkout directory_M from Repo_A and directory_N from Repo_B.
4. Perform a Windows copy of File_X from directory_M to directory_N.
5. Submit File_X into Repo_B. Add specific comments to indicate that this is
a duplicate submit in Repo_B.

When perform "svn log http://svn_server/directory_M", I can see the submits
and comments are correct with me as the author. However, when performing a
"show log" in TortoiseSVN, all the submits that I have done are under the
author from the original author in Repo_A. In addition, all the "additional
comments" that I made are not there. The comments are exactly the same as
the original files.

Why?

Thanks.

A.

TortoiseSVN has a log cache based on the UUID of a repository. 

When this cache is enabled it assumes each repository has its own unique
UUID.
If the repositories were created by copying a template to a new repository
the uuids might be the same.

Which in turn can give you errors like these.
(It also makes it easy to mix up repositories when you are switchin; but
those issues are harder to track down)

Unless I'm misreading, you're requesting the log from Repo_A in TSVN.

Your log messages will not be copied from Repo_A to Repo_B, at all.
There is no facility for copying between repositories with any kind of
history.
