Here's the docstring:
[[[
/**
* Convert @a version to that version's characteristic working copy
* format, returned in @a format.
*
* A NULL @a version translates to the library's default version.
⋮
*/
svn_error_t *
svn_wc__format_from_version(int *format,
const svn_version_t* version,
apr_pool_t *scratch_pool);
]]]
Here's part of the implementation:
[[[
switch (version->minor)
{
case 0: /* Same as 1.3.x. */
case 1: /* Same as 1.3.x. */
case 2: /* Same as 1.3.x. */
case 3: *format = 4; break;
case 4: *format = 8; break;
case 5: *format = 9; break;
case 6: *format = 10; break;
case 7: *format = 29; break;
case 8: /* Same as 1.14.x. */
case 9: /* Same as 1.14.x. */
case 10: /* Same as 1.14.x. */
case 11: /* Same as 1.14.x. */
case 12: /* Same as 1.14.x. */
case 13: /* Same as 1.14.x. */
case 14: *format = 31; break;
case 15: /* Same as the current version. */
default: *format = SVN_WC__VERSION; break;
}
return SVN_NO_ERROR;
]]]
What does the term "characteristic" mean? Is it the oldest, newest, or
default wc format supported by @a version?
The implementation uses the newest, but that may have been an oversight
(cf. r1899000), and it's not clear to me from the callers what they
expect.
