Hi!
Is there any way to do a commit with and empty changeset, but non-empty commit
message?
I made a typo in a commit message. Unfortunately the typo isn't just
cosmetic, since it is right in a revision number referencing another commit.
Even more unfortunately, changing the commit message after having commited
isn't really an option (it's not important enough to change history).
My next best idea was to make another commit right after the faulty one, with
an empty changeset and a commit message explaining the previous error. But
svn silently ignores my attempts to this end.
I'm using the commandline client from Debian:
svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767)
compiled May 31 2011, 19:23:20
Thanks,
Jö.
I really don't understand why you can't use
svn pe svn:log <filename>
This doesn't change history, the commit you did doesn't change. You're
only correcting a mistake in the message.
