Item8971: Working copy versions are pure trouble
Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In: 1.1.0
Target Release: minor
Applies To: Engine
Component:
Branches:
Having beaten my head off various version history problems for the last week, I've come to some conclusions:
- In most cases, the version number in the working copy has to be ignored.
- The store has to be able to understand the possibility of non-sequential versioning.
- RCS version numbers are just confusing the issue.
There are still corner cases that will fail, mostly to do with manual manipulations of the version history, so a new testcase
LoadedRevTests covers the important cases.
Note that it is possible now to have a meta object with undefined text, when said object does not exist. This was a deliberate change, and is an attempt to try and clean up the semantics of topic objects further.
There are
no functionality changes - this is all bugfixing.
Note that the work doesn't make non-sequential versioning entirely functional, as the RDiff code assumes sequential version numbers when it diffs over version ranges.

No complaints (yet), so marking as ready for release.

A test implementation of a subversion store - which is non-linear - has shown up some issues with the API, so making some mods.

Subversion store is working, so guess this can be closed now.
