I've solved the problem of the detached Eaton_SDK branch. What must have happened here is the branch creator did a non-Subversion cp -r followed by an add of the target directory. This registered a tree that duplicated trunk, *without* ancestry information connecting it to its source revision.
The correct fix is to check each new text section against a list of MD5 hashes of old text sections. If I find a match, I then fill in copyfrom_path and copyfrom_rev information so it looks (for purposes of parent and branch computation) as though the branch creation had been done with "svn copy". It is a very good thing that I found this before I shipped 2.0. rst.old remains detached, so there is still another corner case for me to nail down. 2.0-pre5 and auxiliary files have been uploaded to http://www.catb.org/esr/nut-conversion/nut-conversion.tar.gz The fix for the "fossil write" bug is in this version. Also note that metadata modifications through mailbox_in can now match by Fossil-ID if Event-Number is absent. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
