: I have been unable to make a patch that successfully moves
XML.java from
: /src/java to /src/common, when you test this, just copy
the file over --
: no changes.
"svn move" will correctly move the file from point
A to point B
(preserving history) but a deficiency of the svn/patch
interaction is that
the patch command doesn't know about the move (it looks like
you're just
deleting one file and then adding a new one) so while
creating patches
that *look* like what you want is fine, actually applying
and commiting
those patches directly isn't typically what you want
(I've long had a dream that someone will write an
"svnpatch" tility that
understands all of the extra info in "svn diff"
output to apply the patch
in a proper way.)
