Actually I was wrong on this. Thanks to Jacopo I noticed that both Subclipse and Tortoise allow you to select a range of revisions when you look for annotations.

So  it's no longer an issue for me and we can bulk remove trailing semicolons 
in Groovy files if we want.

Sorry for the confusion

I don't particularly care one way or another if groovy files have a
semi-colon at the end.  I don't even care about consistency because it is
such a minor thing.

I say remove them if they're on a line you happen to be editing, otherwise
just leave them be.

Regarding the annotations, there's plenty of ways to search commit logs and
personally I've never found blame to be very useful.  I don't think it
should be a reason to block any future bulk S/R cleanups.  We've had plenty
in the past (Double -> BigDecimal, Delegator -> EntityQuery, whitespace
removal, etc.) and we should continue to do it to keep things clean.

For searching diffs, before using git-svn I used to use: svn log -diff
<path/to.file> and then use the search in the terminal to find the string
I'm looking for.

OK found that the same than in Subclipse also exists in TortoiseSVN

But you need to use a command line (weird for a GUI), eg (from
TortoiseSVN root folder)

Actually wrong, simply pick a file in Windows file explorer using
TortoiseSVN  context menu, et voilà!
I confirm, totally comparable to Subclipse annotations

Jacques



TortoiseProc.exe /command:blame /path:"C:\projectASF-Mars\ofbi
z\applications\product\src\main\java\org\apache\ofbiz\
product\catalog\CatalogWorker.java"

All is explained here https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/r
elease/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-automation.html#tsvn-automation-basics

 From the resulting UI (comparable to Subclipse) I guess changing all
lines of a file will have the same effect.
Even if indeed the annotations are not lost, they are very hard to use if
you need to compare revision by revision.

BTW thinking about it, don't you have something similar in IntellIJ?

I found an (old) image there https://markphip.blogspot.fr/2

Thanks Jacopo,

I found how to use it in TortoiseSVN (it starts from the log view)
It's complementary to what Subclipse gives and so interesting but not
comparable.

You don't have this global view Subclipse offers with each annotation
by line from start (r1) to HEAD.
Very useful with colored annotations in the same column than lines
numbers. But it unfortunately contains only the last revision if all lines
have been modified together in that revision.
Note: to see it you need to use "Show Quick Diff" ("Revision" and
"Combined Colors" are then default options, hovering is enough for me).
Same than you decide to show line numbers in this column... More for
those who are still using Eclipse...

Some examples:

svn blame README.md

after review you run

svn blame README.md -r 1:1757044

and then

svn blame README.md -r 1:1757042

and so on to get back in history... nothing is lost, annotations are
always
there.

Jacopo

PS: I think there is some trick to do the same with TortoiseSVN but I
can't
tell you the details since I don't use it

Before applying a such change, I'd really like to know if everybody

aware of what that means when it comes to svn annotations. I

Jacques, are you aware that you can pass the -r argument to the

blame/annotate command?

Jacopo

I must say I never use that when looking at annotations in a file in

Eclipse. It's maybe useful in certain circumstances, but I hardly see
when.
And once all the lines a file has been modified in one commit, I
guess -r
does not help at all, anyway you get only this information. Or do I
miss
something? Should I know the revision I'm looking for? I rather try
to know
when and why a line has been changed, what are the reasons of these
changes, maybe to find an related Jira, etc.
