Thanks for the response! In our C++ files, we use the following in our copyright header
/* $Author$ - $Revision$ - $Date$ $HeadURL$ */ Which gets replaced with the appropriate data. $HeadURL$ gets substituted with $HeadURL: http://svnsvrpath/trunk/dir1/dir2/filename.cpp The problem is, if I do a svn cp & switch for a branch svn cp ^/trunk ^/branches/workbranch/ svn switch ^/branches/workbranch the file gets updated (every file, every header etc) to $HeadURL: http://svnsvrpath/branches/workbranch/dir1/dir2/filename.cpp What I would prefer $HeadURL: ^/dir1/dir2/filename.cpp This way, I can see where the file is located in the repository, but on a svn branch, the file doesn’t change Does this make sense?

How do you use the $HeadURL keyword now? Do you want to make $HeadURL show contents of this file? What '^' file are you asking about? -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team
