I asked this question (below) a week ago and got the answer I was looking for, BUT, What program would work if I want the configuration management program to up a file to the next revision (by one unit) ONLY if it is edited. I understand the subversion does not do it that way, BUT what program will?
I am fairly new to Subversion/TortoiseSVN and I want to know if there is a way to prevent Subversion from skipping revision numbers on files so that I can track the amount of time a file is changed based on it's revision number:
Example: I have A.txt, B.txt, and C.txt Revision 1: (added the files to repository) A.txt :1 B.txt :1 C.txt :1
Revision 2: (edited files: A.txt and B.txt) A.txt :2 B.txt :2 C.txt :1
Revision 3: (edited files: A.txt and C.txt) A.txt :3 B.txt :2 C.txt :3 <---------I want this "3" to be a 2****
** I made one change to C.txt and I want the revision number to increase one time (not skip 2 and go straight to 3). I understand why Subversion/TortoiseSVN does it this way and how to follow it, but for the project I am working on, I want to do this a different way. I have read everywhere and can't seem to find anyone else with this issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
For example, CVS keeps track of version numbers individually for every single file. So if you change file B and commit your changes to the repository, file A and C are not affected at all.
The version system is a bit different from Subversion though. Where SVN uses numbers from 1 to N, CVS numbers starts at 1.1, and the second digit is incremented with each commit (becoming 1.2, 1.3, and so on).
