Top Forums Programming Perl: restrict perl from automaticaly creating a hash branches on check Post 302924341 by durden_tyler on Saturday 8th of November 2014 02:12:18 AM

That's a documented behavior in Perl and is called "autovivification".
Check the stackoverflow website for the question "How do I disable autovivification in Perl?" for a detailed discussion and workarounds.

gandolf989 has a point here. Any reason you do *not* want the intermediate branches to be created? As long as they are empty and your existence checks return the values as expected, your program should be fine.

Autovivification in Perl is by design. It's not a bug; it's a feature. And I think it stems from Perl's tendency to go out of its way to make your text processing task easy.
For an in-depth technical discussion of why it works like that, what its advantages are and what problems it solves, check this link: http://www.sysarch.com/Perl/autoviv.txt

NAME
svnpath - output svn url with support for tags and branches SYNOPSIS
svnpath svnpath tags svnpath branches svnpath trunk DESCRIPTION
svnpath is intended to be run in a Subversion working copy. In its simplest usage, svnpath with no parameters outputs the svn url for the repository associated with the working copy. If a parameter is given, svnpath attempts to instead output the url that would be used for the tags, branches, or trunk. This will only work if it's run in the top-level directory that is subject to tagging or branching. For example, if you want to tag what's checked into Subversion as version 1.0, you could use a command like this: svn cp $(svnpath) $(svnpath tags)/1.0 That's much easier than using svn info to look up the repository url and manually modifying it to derive the url to use for the tag, and typing in something like this: svn cp svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/trunk svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/tags/1.0 svnpath uses a simple heuristic to convert between the trunk, tags, and branches paths. It replaces the first occurrence of trunk, tags, or branches with the name of what you're looking for. This will work ok for most typical Subversion repository layouts. If you have an atypical layout and it does not work, you can add a ~/.svnpath file. This file is perl code, which can modify the path in $url. For example, the author uses this file: #!/usr/bin/perl # svnpath personal override file # For d-i I sometimes work from a full d-i tree branch. Remove that from # the path to get regular tags or branches directories. $url=~s!d-i/(rc|beta)[0-9]+/!!; $url=~s!d-i/sarge/!!; 1 LICENSE
