if you rename a folder with
svn mv original_foldername new_foldername
then the .svn folder inside the 'new_foldername' folder looses (or better:
never gets set) the hidden attribute in windows.
This is a little inconsistent because usually those folders are hidden.
comments from Ben:
Ha, sure enough, look at the comment within
svn_io_copy_dir_recursively(). (libsvn_subr/io.c:471)
The function is just calling apr_dir_make() to create new directories in
the target, whereas for files it's calling svn_io_copy_file(), which
seems to have a special win32 section to preserve file perms (!)
comments from Brane:
Bork!
1) This functionality should go into APR, but in the meantime, fixing the
directory creation on Windows should be simple. Could somebody please post a
1.0.1 issue with my name on it?
2) "svn mv" shouldn'd have to copy files around if it's only renaming a
directory. It should just rename the dir and update the entries files.
3) We need a new libsvn_wc.
4) So what else is new...
Major SVN-2249 svn_io_copy_dir_recursively should copy directory attributes.
