Hi Everyone, Recently @users; I asked for some help with how to find revision / path of a file that was previously deleted. http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-04/0135.shtml
In one of the responses, Stefan suggested that I look through this thread; http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-04/0151.shtml and also mentioned the use of; svnsearch and fisheye for data mining the repository. My question isn't so much about getting an answer to my original question - but does follow-on from it. Will WC-NG and more specifically the fact that it is a SQLite database, allow me to find the revision and path of a deleted file, more easily : directly via SQL / SQL Wrappers? Does an appropriate function / API already exist for this in 1.7? And if not - would it seem like an appropriate task for a newbie, from a SVN development POV (me), to take on? There's a learning curve to be sure; I need to get acquainted with HACKING / the header files / etc.. But assuming I get through all that; It seems like much of the work will be in SQL with appropriate wrappers / public API - which at the surface doesn't seem like an unsurmountable task. I suppose what I am after now is; Do data mining functions exist already in 1.7 - thus - "nothing to do here". Is it an appropriately task for a new developer to take on? I'm happy to get talked into / out of it - as existing developers you have a far greater understanding than I do. Gavin.
