Updates not shown in vc-dir buffers?

Updates not shown in vc-dir buffers?

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

I opened a SVN directory in vc-dir-mode (C-x v d /path/to/dir RET).
Then I updated it using `+'.  It fetched updates (as `l' reveals), but
those are not listed in the vc-dir buffer.

Is that intended?  Does it only show updates that had to be merged with
local changes?  (At least I like to see which files were touched since
the last update...)

Bye,
Tassilo

Can you please describe what you see and what do you expect to see?
If you start another emacs instance and in that new emacs instance do
C-x v d /path/to/dir RET
do you see something different than in the original instance?

If you do see something different, can you please show the output of 

M-: (vc-call-backend vc-dir-backend 'state "/path/to/dir/FILENAME") RET
in both emacs instances.  Where FILENAME is the name of a file which is
display differently (you need to pass an absolute path name to
vc-call-backend).

Sure.  Here's what I do to setup a test bench.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% cd uni/repos/jgralab
% svn up
U    testit/de/uni_koblenz/jgralabtest/coretest/VertexTest.java
Updated to revision 1182.
% svn up -r1180
U    src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java
U    testit/de/uni_koblenz/jgralabtest/coretest/VertexTest.java
Updated to revision 1180.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now I fire up emacs -Q and open uni/repos/jgralab in vc-dir.  It lists
all unregistered files and dirs + the direcories containing the
unregistered stuff.  Those don't have a status label.

The first unexpected thing is that while "svn log" shows the log till
r1180 (as expected), `l' in vc-dir already shows the log till r1182.
How can that be?  "svn info" on the cmd line shows that the working copy
is still at r1180:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So where does `vc-print-log' get its informations from if not from "svn
log"?

Then I do a `+' in the vc-dir buffer and expect the files
src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java and
testit/de/uni_koblenz/jgralabtest/coretest/VertexTest.java to be marked
as updated.  But the buffer contents don't change at all...

In buffer *vc* I do see what I expected:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
U    src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java
U    testit/de/uni_koblenz/jgralabtest/coretest/VertexTest.java

No, and as I've said, that's tested with emacs -Q.

Unfortunately I can't try this now.

What does the *vc-dir* buffer show about the 2 files at this point?
Is it different from the output of 
svn status -u 
for those 2 files?
If yes, what is the result of 

M-: (vc-call-backend vc-dir-backend 'state "/path/to/dir/FILENAME") RET

for those 2 files?

They are not shown at all.  Since I opened the buffer initially, only
unregistered files and their parent directories are shown.

Now I updated to the old r1180 (2 commits away from HEAD) and that's the
output from svn status -u:

vc-dir shows those results:

(vc-call-backend vc-dir-backend 'state
 "/home/horn/uni/repos/jgralab/src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java")

says up-to-date.  I use svn 1.6.0 which is pretty new.  Maybe the
output format changed?

What do you get if after that you do:

M-: (progn (vc-call-backend vc-dir-backend 'registered "/home/horn/uni/repos/jgralab/src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java") (vc-call-backend vc-dir-backend 'state "/home/horn/uni/repos/jgralab/src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java")) RET

Still up-to-date.

I tried to follow you description and reproduce what you are doing here
(I obviously don't have access to your files), and I could not get
anything to fail.

Which svn version are you using?  It's 1.6.0 here.  If you think the
repository itself could make a difference, it's free, you can check it
out [1].

1.5.4 here

You can try to debug why
(vc-svn-state "/home/horn/uni/repos/jgralab/src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java")
returns 'up-to-date

It seems that it always wants to stay local (vc-stay-local-p returns
only-file), and thus does "svn update <file> -v".  But then there's no
indication that there's a newer file on the server, e.g. there's no * in
the output.

So everything is working as expected.  I didn't see the problem because
my test repository uses "Repository Root: file:///...."

But it says up-to-date if I set vc-stay-local to nil, too.  And I guess
it's not really expected that vc-dir doesn't show updated files after
`+'.

Does:
(vc-svn-state "/home/horn/uni/repos/jgralab/src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java")
return 'up-to-date in that case too?

Yes, it does.  I edebugged vc-svn-state and it does use the -v option to
svn status, so the output should look like that:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% svn status -u src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java
        *     1170   src/de/uni_koblenz/jgralab/GraphIO.java
Status against revision:   1182
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It seems that the vc commands use temporary buffers most of the time
which makes it hard to debug.  There's *vc* and " *VC-SVN temp*" (or
something like that, but currently I'm failing to see which command
creates them...
