public class SVNMoveClient extends SVNBasicClient
The SVNMoveClient provides an extra client-side functionality over standard (i.e. compatible with the SVN command line client) move operations. This class helps to overcome the SVN limitations regarding move operations. Using SVNMoveClient you can easily:
  • move versioned items to other versioned ones within the same Working Copy, what even allows to replace items scheduled for deletion, or those that are missing but are still under version control and have a node kind different from the node kind of the source (!);
  • move versioned items belonging to one Working Copy to versioned items that belong to absolutely different Working Copy;
  • move versioned items to unversioned ones;
  • move unversioned items to versioned ones;
  • move unversioned items to unversioned ones;
  • revert any of the kinds of moving listed above;
  • complete a copy/move operation for a file, that is if you have manually copied/moved a versioned file to an unversioned file in a Working copy, you can run a 'virtual' copy/move on these files to copy/move all the necessary administrative version control information.

  • Constructor Details

    • SVNMoveClient

      public SVNMoveClient(ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager, ISVNOptions options)
      Constructs and initializes an SVNMoveClient object with the specified run-time configuration and authentication drivers.

      If options is null, then this SVNMoveClient will be using a default run-time configuration driver which takes client-side settings from the default SVN's run-time configuration area but is not able to change those settings (read more on ISVNOptions and SVNWCUtil).

      If authManager is null, then this SVNMoveClient will be using a default authentication and network layers driver (see SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager()) which uses server-side settings and auth storage from the default SVN's run-time configuration area (or system properties if that area is not found).

      Parameters:
      authManager - an authentication and network layers driver
      options - a run-time configuration options driver

    • SVNMoveClient

      public SVNMoveClient(ISVNRepositoryPool repositoryPool, ISVNOptions options)
      Constructs and initializes an SVNMoveClient object with the specified run-time configuration and repository pool object.

      If options is null, then this SVNMoveClient will be using a default run-time configuration driver which takes client-side settings from the default SVN's run-time configuration area but is not able to change those settings (read more on ISVNOptions and SVNWCUtil).

      If repositoryPool is null, then SVNRepositoryFactory will be used to create repository access objects.

      Parameters:
      repositoryPool - a repository pool object
      options - a run-time configuration options driver

  • Method Details

    • doMove

      public void doMove(File src, File dst) throws SVNException
      Moves a source item to a destination one.

      dst should not exist. Furher it's considered to be versioned if its parent directory is under version control, otherwise dst is considered to be unversioned.

      If both src and dst are unversioned, then simply moves src to dst in the filesystem.

      If src is versioned but dst is not, then exports src to dst in the filesystem and removes src from version control.

      If dst is versioned but src is not, then moves src to dst (even if dst is scheduled for deletion).

      If both src and dst are versioned and located within the same Working Copy, then moves src to dst (even if dst is scheduled for deletion), or tries to replace dst with src if the former is missing and has a node kind different from the node kind of the source. If src is scheduled for addition with history, dst will be set the same ancestor URL and revision from which the source was copied. If src and dst are located in different Working Copies, then this method copies src to dst, tries to put the latter under version control and finally removes src.

      Parameters:
      src - a source path
      dst - a destination path
      Throws:
      SVNException - if one of the following is true:
      • dst already exists
      • src does not exist

    • undoMove

      public void undoMove(File src, File dst) throws SVNException
      Reverts a previous move operation back. Provided in pair with doMove() and used to roll back move operations. In this case src is considered to be the target of the previsous move operation, and dst is regarded to be the source of that same operation which have been moved to src and now is to be restored.

      dst could exist in that case if it has been a WC directory that was scheduled for deletion during the previous move operation. Furher dst is considered to be versioned if its parent directory is under version control, otherwise dst is considered to be unversioned.

      If both src and dst are unversioned, then simply moves src back to dst in the filesystem.

      If src is versioned but dst is not, then unmoves src to dst in the filesystem and removes src from version control.

      If dst is versioned but src is not, then first tries to make a revert on dst - if it has not been committed yet, it will be simply reverted. However in the case dst has been already removed from the repository, src will be copied back to dst and scheduled for addition. Then src is removed from the filesystem.

      If both src and dst are versioned then the following situations are possible:

      • If dst is still scheduled for deletion, then it is reverted back and src is scheduled for deletion.
      • in the case if dst exists but is not scheduled for deletion, src is cleanly exported to dst and removed from version control.
      • if dst and src are from different repositories (appear to be in different Working Copies), then src is copied to dst (with scheduling dst for addition, but not with history since copying is made in the filesystem only) and removed from version control.
      • if both dst and src are in the same repository (appear to be located in the same Working Copy) and:
        • if src is scheduled for addition with history, then copies src to dst specifying the source ancestor's URL and revision (i.e. the ancestor of the source is the ancestor of the destination);
        • if src is already under version control, then copies src to dst specifying the source URL and revision as the ancestor (i.e. src itself is the ancestor of dst);
        • if src is just scheduled for addition (without history), then simply copies src to dst (only in the filesystem, without history) and schedules dst for addition;
        then src is removed from version control.
      Parameters:
      src - a source path
      dst - a destination path
      Throws:
      SVNException - if src does not exist

    • doVirtualCopy

      public void doVirtualCopy(File src, File dst, boolean move) throws SVNException
      Copies/moves administrative version control information of a source file to administrative information of a destination file. For example, if you have manually copied/moved a source file to a target one (manually means just in the filesystem, not using version control operations) and then would like to turn this copying/moving into a complete version control copy or move operation, use this method that will finish all the work for you - it will copy/move all the necessary administrative information (kept in the source .svn directory) to the target .svn directory.

      In that case when you have your files copied/moved in the filesystem, you can not perform standard (version control) copying/moving - since the target already exists and the source may be already deleted. Use this method to overcome that restriction.

      Parameters:
      src - a source file path (was copied/moved to dst)
      dst - a destination file path
      move - if true then completes moving src to dst, otherwise completes copying src to dst
      Throws:
      SVNException - if one of the following is true:
      • move = true and src still exists
      • dst does not exist
      • dst is a directory
      • src is a directory
      • src is not under version control
      • dst is already under version control
      • if src is copied but not scheduled for addition, and SVNKit is not able to locate the copied directory root for src
