Hi, This may or may not be an issue, since it could be how the OS interprets the command. Explanation as follows.
Discovered an issue with running svn commit: Merge is successful [evanw@laptop] /Users/evanw/misc/rd/ => svn merge http://svn/repo/tools/release_dashboard/trunk --dry-run --- Merging r61477 through r61658 into '.': D jira.project.class.php D situationreport.class.php D report.class.php D situationreport.stage.class.php D jira.project.checkpoint.class.php D index.php D jira.class.php [evanw@laptop] /Users/evanw/misc/rd/ => svn merge http://svn/repo/tools/release_dashboard/trunk --- Merging r61477 through r61658 into '.': D jira.project.class.php D report.class.php D situationreport.class.php D situationreport.stage.class.php D jira.project.checkpoint.class.php D index.php D jira.class.php However, committing with * does not work: [evanw@laptop] /Users/evanw/misc/rd/ => svn ci * -m 'BM-123: merge from trunk into my branch' Committing with . or the main directory name will work: [evanw@laptop] /Users/evanw/misc/rd/ => svn ci . -m 'BM-123: merge from trunk into my branch' Sending . Deleting index.php Deleting jira.class.php Deleting jira.project.checkpoint.class.php Deleting jira.project.class.php Deleting report.class.php Deleting situationreport.class.php Deleting situationreport.stage.class.php Committed revision 61659. Strangely, other commands with * used will work, such as svn delete, svn add, etc. Even svn commit * will work somewhat as it commits the modified and added files, but not the deleted ones. I had a discussion with others and their explanation is that the character * refers to valid targets and thus deleted items are not targettable, hence their being missed in the commit. Should this be a valid exception case for svn commit so as to make it consistent with other svn commands? Is this Evan Wee [Build] Email/AIM: ev...@nationalfibre.net
