Hi,
I apologize if I didn't pick the proper mailing list, but "discussion
about packages" sounded right to me...
wrong mailing list.
Packages is for discussion between package managers,
not for bugs or help.
Forwarded to the right one: cygwin
from what I can tell, a user of CygWin SVN has no possibilities to be
aware of the fact that it is indeed CygWin SVN, and not another program.
$ which svn
/usr/bin/svn
I guess is very clear
This is the root cause for problems like
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-213
(This is about an Apache Maven plugin, that uses a file list to specify
files being committed. Of course, for CygWin SVN the files in the list
must have a suitable format. Which they have not, as the plugin has no
idea about the svn binary it is using, apart from the path.) Currently,
svn --version emits the message below: This should insted be something
like "svn, version 1.7.5 (CygWin, r1336820)".
I do not understand why you need different file for cygwin.
Commit on cygwin should follow cygwin rules (unix like),
so something like
svn co your_server /cygdrive/c/TomTom/tmp/release/myapp
should be fine.
See also the cygpath usage for conversion between
cygwin and MS path styles
$ cygpath -u "c:\temp"
/cygdrive/c/temp
$ cygpath -u "c:\TomTom\tmp\release\myapp"
/cygdrive/c/TomTom/tmp/release/myapp
Thanks,
Jochen
