Yes. I see now. http://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/en/trunk/install/windows/commandline.xml?view=annotate was something I created in SVN about 16 months ago. And annotations work. But it seems that the mime-type:application/xml messed things up. In reading around [1] says that there is a runtime setting that allows SVN to have a map for mime types ... "Beginning in Subversion 1.5, users can configure a new mime-types-file runtime configuration parameter, which identifies the location of a MIME types mapping file. Subversion will consult this mapping file to determine the MIME type of newly added and imported files." So, if mapping .xml to text/xml, would that be enough? But, there also looks like I could use svnadmin setrevprop [2]. I don't know enough to test this though. If it requires setting it on all revisions, then I can certainly script it. One thing that is worth knowing is ... "NOTE: Revision properties are not versioned, so this command will overwrite the previous value of the property." (from the command line help svnadmin help setrevprop). So. I need to be able to run ... echo text/xml > /temp/svnmimetype.txt svnadmin setrevprop /usr/repos -r xxx svn:mime-type /temp/svnmimetype.txt where xxx is the revision number for the first instance of each file where the svn:mime-type is set to application/xml e.g. echo text/xml > /temp/svnmimetype.txt svnadmin setrevprop /usr/repos -r 160493 svn:mime-type /temp/svnmimetype.txt Sounds easy enough! (Though I don't know how to copy to a file from the command line in unix. echo content > file.txt in windows). Ish! Is this worth it? It would remove the mime type properly and allow the annotations to work again. Richard.
