Bug 9485 – Teach svn-apply and svn-unapply to use full path names

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

It annoys me when using svn-apply and svn-unapply that full path names to files are not used.  I have a patch that will fix this, along with some general clean-up of both scripts.

Patch v1

Patch v1 does the following:

svn-apply:
- Added "use warnings;"
- Used subroutine prototypes
- Added command-line argument validation and a -h|--help argument with a help message
- Changed merge feature to operate on full paths
- Added "exit 0;" statement at end of main code path
- Renamed $fullpath to $fullPath
- Changed patch() subroutine to use $fullPath instead of $base and to inline usages of $prefix
- Changed handleBinaryChange() subroutine to use a full path
- Renamed chdirAddingDirectoriesIfNeeded() to addDirectoriesIfNeeded() and chdir back to $startDir when done

svn-unapply:
- Added new missing feature for removing newly added directories
- Added "use warnings;"
- Used subroutine prototypes
- Added command-line argument validation and a -h|--help argument with a help message
- Added "exit 0;" statement at end of main code path
- Renamed $fullpath to $fullPath
- Changed patch() subroutine to use $fullPath instead of $base and to remove usages of $prefix

That is, I added the item to the missing-feature list.  I haven't implemented that feature (yet).

Patch v1

cvs couldn't handle full paths; that's why the code was doing complicated unnecessary stuff before. Once we switched to svn, we didn't need that code.

I don't understand why we need to chdir at all any more. I think that addDirectoriesIfNeeded also should use full paths.

Hmm...you must add the top-level directory in SVN:

pbookw:~/WebKit ddkilzer$ mkdir foo
pbookw:~/WebKit ddkilzer$ mkdir foo/bar
pbookw:~/WebKit ddkilzer$ svn add foo/bar
subversion/libsvn_wc/lock.c:377: (apr_err=155007)
svn: 'foo' is not a working copy
pbookw:~/WebKit ddkilzer$ svn add foo
A         foo
A         foo/bar
pbookw:~/WebKit ddkilzer$

Sure, you need to add one directory at a time. But we don't need to chdir. We can use a full path for each directory as we add it.
