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:--- 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:--- 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
