Binary package hint: subversion-tools

package : subversion-tools
release: Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04
(Xubuntu)

Problem:
What I missed in subversion was a "deep commit", like you can do in TortoiseSVN. What I mean is that you can commit changes in normal directories and in "externals" in one go.

Solution:
I wrote a simple bash script to do just that.
Note that this will not always succeed, just like TortoiseSVN's deep commit does not always succeed. For instance, subversion cannot do a commit over two entirely different repositories. This is normal behaviour and the error message from the subversion command-line client points out what the problem is in such case (again, comparable to TortoiseSVN). The batchfile is attached.

I also created a man page for this script. See the attachment.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
