Hi,
I use Xcode with CVS SCM, and am trying out Subversion.
I would like to know how others are dealing with files with resource
forks. For example, a .webloc file (drag a URL from Safari to Finder)
is 0k in size, but contains the URL in the resource fork. I don't
think there's a way around this, unlike AppleScripts where one has the
option to save everything in the data fork.
For CVS, I guess one could do something in CVSROOT/cvswrappers by
wrapping the file into an archive using ditto, since (snip) "ditto will
preserve resource forks and HFS meta-data in the directory __MACOSX
within PKZip archives". Has anybody written such a script for
cvswrappers? I think that cvswrappers can cause problems on different
environments, but I'm not too concerned as I am doing everything
locally.
For Subversion, I would appreciate any pointers to help me as I work my
way through the docs... :-) I believe binary files are simply copied
into the database - what does Subversion use for the copy? Can it be
told to use something like 'CpMac'?
Thanks,
Simon
