The do_update or do_switch functions in SVN only allow for a single path component; so 'path/to/deep/dir' would be interpreted as 'path'. SVN 1.4.x has a reparent function that can let us change the session to use a higher-level root of the repository, so we can use that for do_switch (which still doesn't seem to work in SVN 1.4.3 (a fix was attempted, but they missed the rest of the typemap changes needed in trunk...)). On the do_update side, we can use set_path on higher level directories and set them to a newer revision so they don't get updated. We can't do this with do_switch, either, because the relative path we're tracking can change (directory moving into a child of itself). Because of these changes, we need to double check that our Fetch editor is correctly performing stripping on any prefixed paths from update, otherwise we'll just die() because that would be a bug. Added a test case which helped me notice and fix problems with do_switch, too. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
