Using Subversion for Revision Control with Cadence

archive

Hi,
I have been using Subversion to track revisions from icfb. For the most part it works fairly well, however using the various file manipulation capabilities of the Library Manager such as copy and rename results in a big mess. Rather than ignoring the .svn folders, it copies them to a different place. Then when I try to commit the new design with the copied library, Subversion gives errors relating to the improper copy. I hope it's clear what the issue is.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there some SKILL code that could be used to call the subversion copy command instead of the usual shell command?

  • I have been digging around the Library folders and noticed that the cdsinfo.tag file plays an important role in whether or not Cadence recognizes a specific folder as a Library folder. The simple summary is that if a cdsinfo.tag file exists with the line CDSLIBRARY, Cadence will take notice of it as a Library. This worked fine with my ".test" folder ( which by the way was copied by Cadence once I included the cdsinfo.tag). The strange bit is that the .svn folder does not have a cdsinfo.tag file, it has cdsinfo.tag.svn-base in .svn/text-base/. Suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Brian
