Basically yes, though it's not a new thing - we have been from day 1 of = using svn. Or rather, each time somebody "replaces" a file we (peter, = bz, or me) have to manually hack svn2cvs to handle the case with the = increasing risk that we will do it wrong and svn/cvs will be out of = sync. > If so, this doesn't seem desirable... we moved to Subversion to obtain > such operations as file and directory moves. You can move files and dirs, just as long as you don't move them on top = of existing files. The problem is that that creates an 'remove' and = 'add' operation in the same changeset which CVS cannot handle. Tested patches are accepted = (http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/svnadmin/tools/export.py), or even = better - work on killing off CVS sooner rather than later. > I suspect such operations will only happen with increased frequency = after > the Ports Collection moves to Subversion. Ports will explicitly deny "Replaced" files in a presubmit check. I will = look at adding the same for src once I get a chance. --=20 Simon L. B. Nielsen
