| Copy/Paste should have svn copy functionality [message #20073] |

Hi all,
in Eclipse I can copy folders with Copy / Paste. But the .svn directories are also copied, so that I
get problems with subversion.
IMHO, Eclipse should avoid to copy version control related files. Ideal solution would be if paste
could use the "svn copy" operation to create the copy if some conditions are met (i.e. copy source
is under svn control, same repo etc.)
I think this would be a general Eclipse Team RFE (do not copy version control files) and a separate
Subversive RFE.
Any comments?
Jörg

Hi Jorg,
I agree with you. I already encountered situation where developers were
not aware of this behavior and trying to copy a resource folder from a
project to another one and it mess up the repositories.
In the same idea I found that when you do a copy/paste on a file in
eclipse, the file is marked as replaced, while if you do the same
operation directly on your filesystem, the file is marked as modified
(which what I want).
Regards,
Francois

But I do want the resource history, i.e. the indication in SVN that this file was
copied/moved/renamed from the other file.
A related issue is that the rename refactoring also could be done using "svn move", but it works as
"add/del" which looses history. Therefore, I sometimes skip the resource rename action during
refactorings and add them myself using "Copy To" and file removal. This is a night-mare!
Cheers, Jörg
