Why revision number in version control does not increase by 1 all the time?
svn, version-control
Solution
Your project within the SVN repo might not be the only one. Any revision in any part of the SVN repo will increment the global revision number by one. See also:
- "How increment in revision number calculated in subversion".
- "Subversion revision number across multiple projects"
Problem
When I use "svn log", for example, to view the revision history, I find that the revision number does not increase one by one all the time. For example, one revision has revision number "1234" but its next revision has revision number "1256" instead of "1235". What happens between these two revisions? What their revision numbers are not consecutive? Thanks.
