Basically yes, though it's not a new thing - we have been from day 1 of using svn. Or rather, each time somebody "replaces" a file we (peter, bz, or me) have to manually hack svn2cvs to handle the case with the increasing risk that we will do it wrong and svn/cvs will be out of sync. > If so, this doesn't seem desirable... we moved to Subversion to obtain > such operations as file and directory moves. You can move files and dirs, just as long as you don't move them on top of existing files. The problem is that that creates an 'remove' and 'add' operation in the same changeset which CVS cannot handle. Tested patches are accepted (http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/svnadmin/tools/export.py), or even better - work on killing off CVS sooner rather than later. > I suspect such operations will only happen with increased frequency after > the Ports Collection moves to Subversion. Ports will explicitly deny "Replaced" files in a presubmit check. I will look at adding the same for src once I get a chance. -- Simon L. B.
