svnkit：如何获取工作副本修订号？

Question

I am using SVNKit 1.3.2 and trying to obtain working copy revision number.

Working copy is checkouted also with SVNKit, but when I'm trying to call

clientManager.getLookClient().doGetYoungestRevision(destination);

I got FileNotFoundException telling me that 'format' file is not found under destination path, ex /path/to/working/copy/format

I can see 2 troubles: - It tries to access 'format' file right in working directory root, while this file supposed to be in .svn folder

• There is not file in this .svn folder.

Any clues? Thank you!

Answer 1

Seems to be it should be done through SVNStatusClient:

clientManager.getStatusClient().doStatus(destination, false).getRevision().getNumber();

Though still don't understand what's the problem with doGetYoungestRevision(destination)...

Answer 2

It is not working because doGetYoungestRevision is for a repository, not for a working copy.

I was hoping to achieve the same things as you, and found out that when destination is pointing to a repository, it returns the last revision number of the repository.

The class in itself is for working with repository, you can look at the documentation here .
