Question

In my svn project there is a directory which has an svn:ignore property. Now i want to find out which committer set this property on this directory and the corresponding revision.

How can i do that on commandline?

[I'm on Linux. GUI-options to find that out are also welcome.]

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

So the svn-commandline doen't provide the functionality, and I didn't find a good script for my use case, so i just wrote my own which does exactly what i wanted in my question. I posted it in the related post, to avoid duplication: how to detect modified properties using SVN log

OTHER TIPS

I didn't find a mechanism easily listed in The Book, which seems surprising.

If it comes to it you could do a binary search over revisions using svn propget svn:ignore directory -r<foo>, starting at the half-way point and moving up or down if the property is there or not -- it'll take at most 20 tries if you've got fewer than a million commits...
