When a bug is a feature is a bug

Post by Ambush Commander »

What an afternoon. In my quest for complete backup redundancy between three machines (one local, two remote), I essentially porked my local Subversion repository. So I had to export the whole thing, create a new repository, hand edit the dump file to remove the bad data, run svndumpfilter on it to get rid of some other things, reimport it into the repository, and then re-check-out every single working copy on my computer. I also broke all of the post-commit hooks on the remote server (although that was more for backup purposes).

Sometimes, I wish that Subversion didn't have the feature of difficult to remove data.

Of course not. Subversion may have its annoyances, but CVS is much worse. :-P
