--------------------------------
Summary: Shelving: refactor so checkpoints are built from a series
of simple shelves
Key: SVN-4748
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4748
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Julian Foad
Currently, a Shelf holds multiple Versions, and each version is a checkpoint.
A Shelf provides nothing special. (It currently holds a single log message (and
other rev-props) shared by all versions, but that effect can be trivially
replicated.)
A simpler, more modular design would invert the relationship, so a series of
checkpoints would be managed by a higher layer as multiple shelves, linked
together by a common name and incorporating a version identifier into the
underlying Shelf object's name.
That design would also match the typical manual method of storing patch files
named "my-fix-1.patch", "my-fix-2.patch", etc.
Any future attempt to share the base tree states between versions of one shelf
should be equally well able to share it between different shelves.
