[Cdash] Problem with ViewVC and new file

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Julien,

  I do not understand what is the issue here. A new file will return:

$ svn log gdcmSerieHelper.cxx
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4442 | malat | 2008-09-29 16:27:40 +0200 (Mon, 29 Sep 2008) | 1 line

ENH: backward compat for ITK
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only one log entry, while a file with multiple revision will return:

$ svn log CMakeLists.txt
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4442 | malat | 2008-09-29 16:27:40 +0200 (Mon, 29 Sep 2008) | 1 line

ENH: backward compat for ITK
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4415 | malat | 2008-09-25 11:14:58 +0200 (Thu, 25 Sep 2008) | 1 line

ENH: rename
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r4398 | malat | 2008-09-23 18:53:19 +0200 (Tue, 23 Sep 2008) | 1 line

ENH: introduce new filter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
....


Why is it wrong to assume the file has no previous revision in the first case ?

thanks
