Labelling feature in Subversion
Hi,
Can the labelling feature like that of Merant PVCS or
MS-VSS be implemented in Subversion. (without creating
a new copy of the source tree).
This would help us to retrieve "labelled versions"
whenever required.
I think "Tags" create copy of the of the source tree.
For example:
svn label http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk -m
"Release 1.0 for integration testing"
Regards,
Satish.

A redundant term. I'm just reinforcing the fact that revisions are
trees. I believe the book talks about "revision trees" and "transaction
trees" quite a bit:
$ grep "transaction tree" *.xml | wc -l
4
$ grep "revision tree" *.xml | wc -l
10

What's a "revision tree"?

You can do this right now by setting any property you want on a revision
tree:
$ svn propset foo bar --revprop -r N URL
The only thing you can't do is *lookup* a revision by querying a
property.

What's the concern with creating a new copy of the source tree? It
takes only a small, constant amount of time and space to create the new
copy, regardless of how big the source tree is.
