Minor Python bindings/API question

[Jens Restemeier]

Hi,

I’m trying to use the python-swig bindings to copy the log entries of our
repository into a database for indexing and cross referencing. There is one
minor problem: The callback seems to be called a few times with invalid log
entries:

(-1L, {}, None)

That is obviously easy to filter out, and there don’t seem to be any gaps in
the revisions. I’m just wondering if this points to repository problems, or
if these are just side effects of the database schema or API. Is it possible
that these are failed transactions?

 

*       Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2
*       svn, version 1.9.5 (r1770682)

 

Code:

start = svn.core.svn_opt_revision_t()

start.kind = svn.core.svn_opt_revision_number

start.value.number = startRev

 

end = svn.core.svn_opt_revision_t()

end.kind = svn.core.svn_opt_revision_head

 

revision_range = svn.core.svn_opt_revision_range_t()

revision_range.start = start

revision_range.end = end

 

limit = 0

discover_changed_paths = True

strict_node_history = True

include_merged_revisions = True

revprops = None

 

svn.client.log5(targets, end, (revision_range,), limit,
discover_changed_paths, strict_node_history, include_merged_revisions,
revprops, _receiver_callback, ctx)

 

Cheers,

Jens
