SvnSharp's SvnLookClient changed item actions explanation

The property Action of an SvnChangedEventArgs is of type SvnChangeAction enum, but I can't find what each enum value means. The possible values are None, Add, Delete, Modify and Replace.

I tested and found that:

  • Add is when a new item is added or is the destination of a move or copy.
  • Deleted is when a item is deleted or is the source of a move.
  • Replace is when a item is modified and a new revision of this item is created.

I can suppose that None is used when a item that has not changed is listed because of the svnlook arguments.

I can't find the explanation for Modify value. It's the same as Replace? When it occurs?

Solution
    • Modified is when the contents of the file have been changed.
    • Replace is when the file itself has been replaced with another file.
    • None is when nothing happened, this normally should not happen. The reason this is here is because it is recommended by the Framework Design Guidelines (search for "none")
