Design Notes

The following are links to various notes about the design and implementation of various Subversion features and enhancements.

• LocalMoves - functional design for client-side move and rename tracking

• Editor, version 2 (Ev2) - Updating the way we transmit difference within Subversion

• EncryptedPasswordStorage - (forced and/or turn-key) encrypted storage of cached client-side authentication credentials

  • Also see MasterPassphrase

• FS2 - Thoughts about a re-designed and flexible backend storage system, to replace both libsvn_fs_base and libsvn_fs_fs

  • StarDelta is a potential low-level algorithm to be used in the FSFS2 backend

• InheritedProperties - node properties that apply to descendants too

• InRepoAuthz - Storing Authz files inside a repository

• MergeinfoCommand - 'svn merginfo' shows a summary diagram by default

• MergeLimits - thoughts on the nature of the merge use-case

• MtimePreservation - storing "modified time" for files in a versioned property

• MultiLayerMoves - recording multiple layers of moves in the working copy

• NodesOperations - understanding WCNG NODES table

• Repository Dictated Configuration - server-dictated configuration via inheritable props

• SymmetricMerge - understanding sync, reintegrate, catch-up, cherry-pick merges

• UnicodeComposition - managing differences in Unicode character composition in paths

Not Yet Written

• BetterExternals - ideas for something as useful but less crufty

Abandoned

Designs that were discussed but never implemented. These remain here for archival purposes.

• ServerDictatedConfiguration - server-dictated configuration of client-side behavior (abandoned in favor of Repository Dictated Configuration)
