show log from TortoiseBlame doesn't count added files as affected paths

[Sterpu Mihai]

Hi,

While in the TortoiseBlame window on a certain file ie. file.txt you can go to any line on the left panel, right click and select the "Show log" option in order to display the revision at which the line was modified\added.

However, in the Log Messages window that appears there is no entry if the file.txt was added at the respective revision and the "Show only affected paths" option is enabled.

Basically, it's like if the file was added at a revision this doesn't count as an affected path.

Surely, this is wrong.

Best regards,

Mihai

I'm not sure I follow the steps you describe. For me the file is listed no matter what boxes I have checked. Have you checked whether any of the other options are relevant in your case?

Kind regards,

Daniel

Hi,

I managed to reproduce it, you need branches as well.

So, start with a trunk where you have a single file1.txt with some text in it

Create a branch b1

Checkout b1

Add a file file2.txt (with some text inside) on b1

Modify file1.txt on b1

Commit to b1 (REVISION X)

Checkout trunk

Merge b1 to trunk's working copy

Commit the merge (REVISION Y)

Now your working copy should contain file1.txt and file2.txt

Right click on file2.txt -> Blame

You can now see that for the lines of file2.txt TortoiseBlame displays revision X

Right click on any revision X, show Log

Now, if the " Show only affected paths" option is enabled, then you can't see any path because at revision X the path was /b1.

Keep in mind that the blame option was triggered on a trunk working copy. Therefore, it is expected that the revisions displayed in the TortoiseBlame window

correspond to trunk revisions.

Expected behaviour:

- in the Blame Window the lines of file2.txt correspond to revision Y, the revision of b1's merge to trunk
