Afternoon, For some client-side Tortoise hooks (which are for the purpose of preventing people shoot themselves in the head in all the myriad ways Subversion allows), I need to get the ancestor-branch, ie where the current branch/tag was copied from.
My current strategy for doing this is svn log -q --stop-on-copy, get the last rev, then svn log -vr thatRev on it, and look for the copied from. I have to do it in two shots because svn log -v for the whole branch is too slow. I'm wondering though if there is a better/faster way of doing this, like something undiscovered in the API. Server-side I could use svn.fs.closest_copy() but I only have the working copy to work with. Furthermore I'm having problems with branches that weren't created "cleanly", eg users will create a new directory, then svn copy stuff in, or create a branch from a working copy containing modified files. (Both bad practices that I'm trying to prevent, but nevertheless these exist in the wild). Any help appreciated as always... jamie =============================================================================== Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.credit-suisse.com/legal/en/disclaimer_email_ib.html ===============================================================================
