It would belong to users@ is there was already an
--enable-follow-symlinks option. But there isn't one.
So it belongs to dev@.
But I have waited for someone like you. Funny thing i find /you/ in
dev@. But every single mailing list has someone like you. Let us watch
you go, shall we? :D
What you do: You ask me /several/ times what I wan't to do. You even
claim that I failed to explain my problem.
(Surely that doesn't stop you from hi-jacking this thread with a
self-loving and off-topic rant about you using the commandline).
Answer:
Look at the subject of this thread. It says "follow symlinks", also, I
wrote multiple times that i want to follow symbolic links. With
subversion. I want to follow symbolic links with subversion. I want
subversion to follow symbolic links. I don't want it to behave
differently so you can't use it to backup your home directory anymore.
No. I am just asking for a (optional) option at compile (or run-) time.
So that subversion offers a /choice/ to me. So I can follow symbolic
links with it. Follow symbolic links. Follow symlinks. Symlinks. Follow
them. Please. Thank you.
Good enough for you? Do you understand what I am talking about /now/? Or
were you just trying to chill this thread with a pointless response?
Now, instead of reading my posts, you might want to ask what I want to
achieve with that.
The answer is the same: I wan't to follow symbolic links so I have
/meaningful/ files in my repository. Subversion allowes crazy people to
store special files in a repository but it offers no option to follow
symbolic links. It even defends mount --bind.
The biggest part of your answer is completely off-topic. You demonstrate
the /is/ situation, or whatever, which is completely
pointless since subversion doesn't follow symbolic links.
> I'm not sure there are any commands that need --enable-follow-symlinks.
Well why do you bother to answer/write at all? You successfully wasted
my time.
Thanks,
