hi brett, i already downloaded the pdf - even read it :-)
i enabled it and it worked in the working copy - but not if someone without access to the real svn accesses http://svn.....file.txt. and besides. my "application" is only one perl file, so no tags, compilations, releases etc. so again the problem. how does a user who downloaded my "application" know what version of the file he is using? bye gerhard On Thu, 2009-05-28 at 17:32 +1000, Brett Henderson wrote: > Gary G: wrote: > > hi, > > > > thanks for all the answers so far. i imported my first file and even got > > svn to show revision no in my working copy. however if i access the file > > via http://svn... there are no substitutions taking place for the variables > > like $Rev$.
