"svn status -u -v" - Erroneous output?
Hello,
please have a look at the following command output. AFAICS, the output of
"svn status -u -v" is wrong as the last committer is not "schmitt" but
"ziegel".
schmitt@host:~/Project> svn status -u -v SubDir/1.php
SubDir/1.php
* 779 779 schmitt SubDir/1.php
Head revision: 838
schmitt@host:~/Project> svn log SubDir/1.php |head
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rev 813: ziegel | 2003-06-20 13:55:21 +0200 (Fri, 20 Jun 2003) | 2 lines
foo
BTW: It would be nice if the name of the person is also listed without
option "-v". I think it doesn't take too much additional space but
provides very useful information (if you have multiple working copies and
you want to see whether the last commit has been made by you or another
person) (IMHO "svn status -v" is a bit too verbose for every day use as it
lists all files of the project)
Kind regards,
Michael

I don't think so. That would alter the meaning of the other columns which
are displaying information about what is in the WC. The only thing from the
server that we display is the '*'. I'd rather not see us start to inflitrate
the other columns...

This is not a bug, it's doing exactly what we intend.
However, I do admit it's not what most users expect.
In our docs, we say that the the '-u' flag makes 'svn status' contact
the server and add "out-of-date" information to the normal local
status information. In practice, this means we only add asterisk
characters to local information. But most people *expect* that we
would really, truly display the last-changed-rev and last-author from
the server as well.
This is something that has long confused users. I really wonder if we
should change the behavior. It would be almost effortless; when we
run 'svn st -u', we're doing a real update under-the-hood; all of the
live props ("entry" props) from the server are coming down to us
already. We just need to make use of them.
Any thoughts on this?

Nope, this is correct behavior. 'svn st -v' (with or without the -u)
only displays the last commit author as of the revision of the file
sitting in the working copy. If you run 'svn update -r 813' on your
working copy, and then 'svn st -v', you should see "ziegel" as the
author.
If you are interested in seeing who the last author of a file was as
of HEAD in the repository, consider using 'svn ls -v' instead, which
always looks at the repository instead of the working copy.
