[svk-devel] svk ci --import doesnt recognise missing files

[Chris Thomas]

hi,

I posted this to the #svk IRC channel and got asked to reply it here.

I delete a file from a svk checkout and I wanted to use the svk ci
--import feature to automatically detect the missing file and remove
it from the repository, so I didnt have to manually remove every file
from the repository as I needed, this is something a pain in the neck,
when some people I work with don't regard the rules and just go around
deleting files and expect someone else to clean it up.

so I thought svk ci --import would be a magic bullet and was told by
clkao and another guy (who I don't remember his name, began with T I
think) told me it works and it's one of the reasons it was developed.

(certain long paths who break the email formatting up,  have been
snipped, they are not important, just the output and what happens is)

<output in my console>

E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris> del softapart.com\scripts\ChannelList.php
E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris>
E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris> svk ci --import
e:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris\softapart.com

Waiting for editor...
Log message not modified: a)bort, e)dit, c)ommit?a

(I aborted, because it was empty and I didnt want to commit an empty import)

E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris> svk st
E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris\softapart.com

M    E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris\softapart.com\locale\<snip>\messages.po
!      E:\projects\work\apartmentum\chris\softapart.com\scripts\ChannelList.php

</output>

HMM!!! so, svk ci --import is not doing what I thought it would be
doing. but svk st is finding that the item is indeed missing.  Anyone
help?

thanks!
