[webkit-dev] r45939 broke my workflow

[Geoffrey Garen]

Hi.

r45939 broke my workflow. Here's the related bugzilla bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26999 
.

Old "Roll out a patch" workflow:

cd JavaScriptCore
svn-create-patch > patch.txt
svn-unapply patch.txt

Old "Roll in a patch" workflow:

cd JavaScriptCore
svn-apply patch.txt

These old ways of doing things no longer work because svn-apply and  
svn-unapply don't match svn-create-patch's new behavior of changing to  
the WebKit root directory if you're currently working in a WebKit  
subdirectory.

Here's an example command-line interaction:

> ~/webkit/WebKitTools/Scripts$ svn-create-patch > ro.txt
> ~/webkit/WebKitTools/Scripts$ svn-unapply !$
> svn-unapply ro.txt
> can't find file to patch at input line 5
> Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
> The text leading up to this was:
> --------------------------
> |Index: WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm
> |===================================================================

> --------------------------
> File to patch: ^C'WebKitTools/Scripts' is not a directory at ./svn- 
> unapply line 315, <> line 9.

I tried to ignore this for a while, but it's really causing problems  
for me and at least one other WebKit developer.

Should we revert r45939?

Is there an easy fix to svn-apply and svn-unapply that you can make?

Thanks,
Geoff
