Stefan Sperling commented on SVN-4662:
--------------------------------------
Andrey, in case it wasn't clear: I entirely agree that this is a problem and
that 'svn patch' should be fixed to support tree changes.
I am OK with requiring an option such as --git for this at least in the
initial implementation, mostly because that approach is already implemented
about half-way. But this is an implementation detail; the general problem
stands and is, to the best of my knowledge, recognized as a problem by the
community.
> svn diff-revert-patch breaks moved files and folders
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SVN-4662
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4662
> Project: Subversion
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.9.4
> Environment: windows 7 x64, tortoisesvn command line tools
> Reporter: Andrey
>
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create empty repository on local drive, for example, "repo"
> 2. Checkout a working copy: repo_root
> 3. Add directory structure:
> trunk/dir1/file1.txt
> trunk/dir1/file2.txt
> trunk/dir1/file3.txt
> trunk/dir2/
> (actually, the structure can be anything, does not much matter)
> 4. switch current directory into the trunk/
> 5. make a local change with file: dir1/file1.txt
> 6. make a move (remove all other files/folders not need to be moved):
> >svn move dir1/file1.txt dir2/file1.txt
> A dir2\file1.txt
> D dir1\file1.txt
> >svn move dir1/file2.txt dir2/file2_.txt
> A dir2\file2_.txt
> D dir1\file2.txt
> >svn remove dir1
> D dir1
> D dir1\file3.txt
> 7. make a patch:
> >svn diff . > trunk.patch
> 8. revert all back:
> >svn revert . -R
> Reverted 'dir1'
> Reverted 'dir1\file1.txt'
> Reverted 'dir1\file2.txt'
> Reverted 'dir1\file3.txt'
> Reverted 'dir2\file1.txt'
> Reverted 'dir2\file2_.txt'
> 9. apply the patch:
> >svn patch trunk.patch .
> D dir1\file1.txt
> D dir1\file2.txt
> D dir1\file3.txt
> D dir1
> Skipped missing target: 'dir2\file1.txt'
> Summary of conflicts:
> Skipped paths: 1
> As you see, entire set of files + 1 change has lost. Commit of this will be
> definitely broken and the consequenced revert is immenent.
> In mine case it was the TortoiseSvn where the implementation of move semantic
> in the patch was a slightly different and at least has saved some files from
> loss.
