Anders brought to my attention this afternoon that webkit-patch currently does all SVN operations from the root directory instead of being current-directory aware. That behavior matches how Git operates, but does not need to be how webkit-patch operates. Question: Do SVN users wish to have webkit-patch be current-working-directory aware? Meaning: "upload" will only prepare-ChangeLog for the current directory and upload an svn diff under the current directory. "land" will only land the current subdirectory. The propose change will make webkit-patch inconsistent between VCS tools, but consistent with the users choice of SVN vs. Git. Is this SVN users desired behavior?
As an SVN user, I would prefer if webkit-patch operations that create a patch worked on the current directory or below, and failed if you are in a directory that does not contain a ChangeLog. I sometimes have independently landable patches in JavaScriptCore an in WebCore +LayoutTests and it is handy to be able to use webkit-patch without having to locally revert one of the two patches.
