Add a comment to subversion without changing a file?
svn, tortoisesvn, version-control
Solution
You can set/change a user-defined property on the file that should be committed - i.e. changing only some meta data without causing side-effects.
svn propset my:log reason filename
svn commit filename
Problem
I would like to add a comment to the subversion log or history for a given file, but there are no changes associated with that file. Is there a way to add or inject a comment into the svn log without actually changing a file. I am looking for a way to just tag a file in the log after some event occurs, for instance a code review. I don't want to do a svn copy to create a whole new branch. I just want the comment associated with a single file at a point in time. Any suggestions here?
