Thanks and a global versioning question; WAS:: Help: XML Parser e rror, Date Conversion failed

["Crucius, Wesley" <WC...@sandc.com>]

You guys are both the greatest, and I'm really warming up to subversion (AND
Tortoise)(coming from VSS that not saying much, but I really do like it).

On a side note, what do you think of the idea of a post commit script that
automatically tags every commit?  My proposed users aren't going to like (or
understand) the global revision number so I'm hoping if I use a post commit
script to create a "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" sort of a tag, they may never notice the
global revision number...

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Wes Crucius

Philip just reported the APR bug to the APR dev@ list.  :-)

I'm facing the same problem and that's why i'm considering a repository
per project, "the project gets a new revision every time someone
commits" seems easier than "something in the repository got committed so
everything has a new revision now, and thats why that project jumped to
rev 317 even though it's still only a html design"

I could see it appealing to people for the same reason that path-space 
tagging/branching by cheap copies is appealing.  With CVS, tags and 
branches are in a different space from the directory structure, but 
SubVersion allows you to map that into the path-space.  He's simply 
mapping Subversion revisions the same way.  It doesn't buy you nearly as 
much as the original CVS-tags to SVN-path mapping, but hey, to each his 
own... :-)

Trying to make your users use Subversion without noticing/using the
global revision numbers is like asking them to drive a car after
removing the tires.

Besides, every global revision already *has* a date attached to it... so
I don't understand how it would be useful to present your users with a
directory full of subdirectories named "YYYMMDDHHMMSS"?  That would be
*less* confusing?
