Hi guys.
I need to add additional functionality to Subversion. My task is to
make SVN able to insert special "watermarks" into working copy source
files which identify a developer working on them. This means every
source file will contain some identifying comment (e.g. // {developer
id} ). My customer says this step will protect the source code from
stealing (the responsible person will be identified and punished).
Yes, it's stupid, but that is my current task. So SVN must smartly
insert the watermark when updating (checking out) the code and remove
it at time of commit (the repo must not contain watermarks).
If you have the users authenticated against the SVN server, then you are
exactly describing the svn:keywords. There is some small adittion to the
code, but not the actual user data. It is well documented in the
Subversion book, but if you have any additional questions, I think they
are best directed at the users mailing list.
And, AFAIK, there is no book detailing the SVN code...
