"Due to historical reasons, Subversion doesn’t properly track file and folder renames (mostly because file renames rarely happened before refactorings were invented)."
- infogulch 10y agoI was about to quote this exact line. I mean, what the hell? "before refactorings were invented" The idea that someone invented the concept (not name) of refactoring is nonsensical to me. It comes naturally from normal maintenance, or changing requirements, not something that needs to be invented.
- prodigal_erik 10y agoRenaming was rarely done because devs advised each other to avoid the agony imposed by the tools of the era. The workaround is ridiculous. Trunk should be what's already deployed to prod and known to work.
