Bug#406292: pysvn_load_dirs: a freely redistributable implementation of svn_load_dirs

This implementation is intended to become a drop-in replacement for svn_load_dirs, though it is currently missing some of its features[2] - not uncoincidentally the ones I never used in the original. I plan to increase compatability over time. http://free.linux.hp.com/~dannf/pysvn_load_dirs pysvn_load_dirs uses the pysvn module mostly because that's the one I'm most familiar with. Porting to the libsvn interface, at a glance, looks pretty straightforward. [snip] Can I make a suggestion? svn_load_dirs was never a very descriptive name anyway, for a tool that essentially does what most people think of as vendor branches (although some object to the latter term on the grounds that often the source is not a vendor but another open source project). In any case, both in order to avoid identity confusion and to have a better name, maybe you could name it something wholly new, and just say in its documentation that it's intended as a drop-in replacement for svn_load_dirs? Possibilities: sourcedrop, svn_vbranch, sidefork... I dunno, I'm just making stuff up, probably you can come up with something better. I've an old idea that functionality of 'svn_load_dirs.pl' should just extended behavior of 'svn import' command. So I propose name like 'svn_import'. -- Ivan Zhakov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I propose name like 'svn_import'. But then it would be impossible to tell whether one means svn import or svn_import, in speech. Some synonyms for import: give entrance to, give admittance to, give the entree; introduce, intromit; usher, admit, receive, import, bring in, open the door to, throw in, ingest, absorb, imbibe, inhale, breathe in; let in, take in, suck in, draw in; readmit, resorb, reabsorb; snuff up, swallow, ingurgitate; engulf, engorge; gulp; eat, drink Well, svn_intromit is probably a bit awkward, but svn_ingest might work. Or svn_intake -- Hmm, I actually kind of like that one. Looks reasonable for me. Also I propose change _ separator symbol to -. So svn-intake is my best :) And we could have svn import --intake (or svn import --replace) in feature. -- Ivan Zhakov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
