Hello Jim, To modify a file at /cs/test directory, do the following:
1. Create repository with URL http://scm.mydomain.com/repo/cs/test - this is repository location and this will be commit editor root. 2. Call ISVNEditor like that: editor.openRoot(-1); editor.openFile("file.txt", -1) // file path relative to the editor root ... editor.closeFile(); editor.closeDir(); editor.closeEdit(); In case repository location is at the repositor root, then calls will be: editor.openRoot(-1); editor.openDir("cs", -1); editor.openDir("cs/test", -1); editor.openFile("cs/test/file.txt", -1) // file path relative to the editor root ... editor.closeFile(); editor.closeDir(); // cs/test editor.closeDir(); // cs editor.closeDir(); // root editor.closeEdit(); Note, that each directory in the path should be opened and closed individually in descending order.
