this is probably a very minor issue, but I'm not sure that you want to
import files into subversion with the already expanded $Id$.
Subversion deals with these keywords differently than CVS. I think you
we would have edit a client side config file, in additon to setting a
another property. I'm trying to figure out the process to get that working.
Anyway, you might want to test that out before having to fix every
single file later on just to get the $Id$ keyword working.
I know that this works for files with "@version $Id$", but haven't tested it with files that already have the expanded $Id$ keyword:
Try this out (see http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/help-onepage.html#tsvn-DUG-propertypage ). (disclaimer try at your own risk. I'm learning subversion too).
1) right click on a directory and select properties.
2) click on the Subversion tab
3) use the select box to select svn:keyword and type in "Id" and click on recursive. But, one potential problem is that this will apply the keyword expansion to all files. You might want to do just java files or maybe just the src directory. You can check that you applied the keyword by checking this folder .svn\props (ie C:\java\svn\test\.svn\props) you should see a file in there called <something>.svn-work. In this file you should see something that says keyword and id.
4) Next you have do a commit.
5) You should see the expanded $Id$ keyword now (only locally, on the server it will stay as $Id$), assuming that you have one in there.
6) Once these steps are done, if someone else checksout/updates the file they will see the expanded $Id$ keyword.
* people have written custom scripts to do this, you probably can find some online.
** again, I'm not sure if subversion would know what to do if the $Id$ is already expanded to something like
$Id: JBlanketSensor.java,v 1.3 2005/09/28 00:20:16 jsakuda Exp $
Part 2. yes there is a part 2.
It would be crazy to go through that process every time you add new files. so, you can setup a subversion client side auto property. This is an example:
[miscellany] enable-auto-props = yes [auto-props] # Source-code files that should do keyword expansion *.java = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=IdThis can be set in the config file (ie C:\Documents and Settings\akihisa\Application Data\Subversion\config). See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1.3.2 .
So, each developer would have to provide settings similar to those to correctly expand the $Id$ keyword when they add or import new files.
Someone let me know if this info helps. And/or I need any changes to the instructions.
thanks, aaron
