Hello Christian, Currently, according to SVNKit 1.7.x sources ignoreUnknownNodeTypes parameter is not used. I've created an issue for that
http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SVNKIT-361 For older SVNKit the parameter was used in the following way: ... else if (fileType != SVNFileType.DIRECTORY && fileType != SVNFileType.FILE) { if (ignoreUnknownNodeTypes) { SVNEvent skippedEvent = SVNEventFactory.createSVNEvent(file, SVNNodeKind.NONE, null, SVNRepository.INVALID_REVISION, SVNEventAction.SKIP, SVNEventAction.COMMIT_ADDED, null, null); handleEvent(skippedEvent, ISVNEventHandler.UNKNOWN); } else { SVNErrorMessage err = SVNErrorMessage.create(SVNErrorCode.NODE_UNKNOWN_KIND, "Unknown or unversionable type for ''{0}''", file); SVNErrorManager.error(err, SVNLogType.WC); } ... So "ignore" means "don't throw an exception, generate an even instead" on importing a symlink. -- Dmitry Pavlenko, TMate Software, http://subgit.com/ - git-svn bridge > Hi everyone! > > SVNKit's Javadocs specify for doImport()'s ignoreUnknownNodeTypes parameter > > that: > >>If ignoreUnknownNodeTypes is false, ignores files of which the node type > > is unknown, such as device files and pipes.<< [1] > > It strikes me as odd that ignoreUnknownNodeTypes = false (i.e. saying "do > not ignore") should let SVNKit ignore unknown node types, whereas > ignoreUnknownNodeTypes = true (i.e. saying "do ignore") should let it > import such nodes. > > Is the Javadoc correct? > > Best regards, > > Christian > > 1) > http://svnkit.com/javadoc/org/tmatesoft/svn/core/wc/SVNCommitClient.html#do > Import%28java.io.File,%20org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNURL,%20java.lang.String, > %20org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNProperties,%20boolean,%20boolean,%20org.tmates > oft.svn.core.SVNDepth%29 > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://subversion.1072662.n5.nabble.com/Are-docs-on-doImport-s-ignoreUnkno > wnNodeTypes-parameter-right-tp179060.html Sent from the SVNKit - Users > mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
