New issue 89 by chr... at lavabit.com: svn options: --strict, --targets &
switch
http://code.google.com/p/svnbook/issues/detail?id=89
Subversion 1.6.x & book r3765.
The --strict option isn't really documented in the book.
`svn help propget` provides more info, but why isn't that info in the book?
[At least it's not by the '--strict' option (non-)description or the 'svn
propget' description.]
The description of --targets in the book contradicts the description from
`svn help commit` etc.
Can the file contain any arguments? Just file paths? URLs? With PEG
revs? Quoted or un-quoted? How are files/arguments delimited? Just line
breaks? Does it support comment lines? Empty lines? Escape sequences?
For "svn switch URL[@PEGREV] [PATH]" the book states "updates your working
copy to point to a new URL". OK. However, both the book & `svn help
switch` also state:
"This is the [Subversion] way to move a working copy to a new branch"
Which, to me, implies that the working copy is (some how) moved and a new
branch created in the repository. (Which I know is not the case.)
A clearer replacement for the second sentence might be:
"This is the [Subversion] way to change a working copy to use a branch".
or
"This is the [Subversion] way to change a working copy to reference a
branch".
or
"This is the [Subversion] way to change a working copy to work on a
branch".
