Xcode 3.0, Leopard
(and I am really disappointed that the Developer Tools Reference on
SCM is stranded at Xcode 2.x)
I have a project under control by Subversion, using the usual branches/
tags/trunk tree.
I have brought my project to a stage that pleases me, and I want to
set a tag for that revision. This is easy enough: Open the
Repositories window, select the relevant trunk directory, press Copy,
name the copy something like "Version-1.0.0", direct it to the tags
directory, and provide an apposite message.
Fine: tags/Version-1.0.0 now freeze-dries the project at the desired
revision, and I see by "svn info" that the working copy still uses the
trunk URL as its repository. All correct.
I do further work, check in further revisions, and then decide I want
to revert to "Version-1.0.0".
I don't want to press the Checkout button and create a new working
copy from tags/Version-1.0.0. Maybe I don't want a duplicate working
copy, and _definitely_ I don't want the URL for a working copy to be
that of the tag: Any revisions I'd check in from then on would modify
the contents of the tag.
I don't want to press the Export button and copy the contents of the
tag into my working copy, because that leaves files I created since
Version-1.0.0 in the working copy.
I don't want to select all my files and do SCM -> Update To -> ? ,
because there's no way to specify the tag URL.
I think, on the command line, I want "svn merge", but I admit I'm
finding that part of the Subversion Book a bit opaque.
How would I accomplish this?
