svn - file-based revision number instead of the repo

Is there any way I can keep the revision number incremented on each single file, instead of on the whole repository? A simpler way to put it is probably the number of commits of a file.

SVN does this for me:

  1. two files under a repo: a.txt, b.txt
  2. commit a.txt, the revision comes to 1
  3. commit b.txt, the revision comes to 2
  4. commit a.txt one more time, the revision comes to 3

What I think is more convenient is in step 4, the revision should be 2, because it refer to "the second commit of a.txt"

No, you can't do it in SVN (by design). Independent version of single and every file in repository was implemented and used in CVS - and globally abandoned later in favor of the concept of global revisions with the scope "Repository"

Your file-revision definition:

  • Have minimal value for any real task
  • Can be easy obtained on the fly from existing metadata

Do not reinvent the wheel!!!
