Re:Zigversion not remembering working copies - 2008/03/17 08:50
I feel really silly. The forgetting was entirely a result of a change of behavior on my part. I unpremeditatedly started to allow myself the freedom to put spaces in names of folders that sat at the top level of my working copies.
For instance, I have a repository with about 10 different, though related, sub-projects at the very top level of the repository. I check these sub-projects out individually, so that the top level of the working copies is the folder that contains the sub-project. During a recent reorganization of my repositories (a bad idea) I renamed the folders for a couple of those sub-projects from "cool_subproject1" to "cool subproject. 1". Suddenly, ZigVersion developed a persistent case of amnesia! Renaming, removing the spaces, has cured this most dreaded of electronic memory disorders.
My experience seems to tell me that ZigVersion will not remember the working copy if there are spaces in that top level folder. I must have known this at some point, as none of my earlier folders had such spaces. Ah, the joys of working in the relaxed and libertarian land of the Mac OS X GUI while really manipulating folders and files in the highly regimented confines of predestination that is the Unix underbelly. Unix does not like spaces, never has, never will... You would think someone with 20 years experience in the Unix world would know that, but alas, I have become comfortable in my GUI world.
