Once both master and auxiliar paths have been related in the repository, they shouldn't be changed except you absolutly need to do so. In this cases, when you need to change master or auxiliar paths, it is required that you also change the relation between them so as to retain their bond. This process of keeping master and auxiliar paths connected between themselves is known as path syncronization. Path syncronization is required for automation scripts to know where to store final output, where to retrive translation messages from, and whatever information you might need to count with. If the relation between master paths and auxiliar paths is lost, there is no way for automation scripts to know where to retrive the information they need to work with or where to store the output information produced from it. Through path syncronization we organize and extend the content production inside the repository. Path syncronization affects both movement of files and replacement of content inside files. Movement of files is related to actions like renaming files and directories inside the repository. Replacement of content inside files is related to actions like replacing information (e.g., paths information) inside files in order to keep file contents and file locations consistent one another after a file has been moved. The order followed to syncronize path information is very important because the versioned nature of the files we are working with. When a renaming action needs to be performed inside the repository, we avoid making replacements inside files first and file movements later. This would demand two commit actions: one for the files' internal changes and another for the file movement itself. Instead, we prefer to perform file movements first and files' internal replacements later. This way it is possible to commit both changes as if they were just one. There is no support for URLs actions inside centos-art.sh script. The centos-art.sh script is designed to work with local files inside the working copy only. If you need to perform URL actions directly, use Subversion's commands instead. At this moment there isn't full implementation of path syncronization inside centos-art.sh script and that is somthing we need to do oursleves. However, the texinfo backend inside the help functionality does provide a restricted implementation of path syncronization to documentation area through the --copy, --delete and --rename options. You can read this implementation and use it as reference to implement path syncronization in other areas. The plan for a full implementation of path syncronization inside centos-art.sh script would be to create individual restricted implementations like the one in texinfo backend for other areas that demand it and then, create a higher implmentation that combines them all as needed. This way, if we try to rename a repository directory, the higher action can know which are all the restricted actions that should be performed in order to make the full path syncronization. For example, if the directory we are renaming is a master path, it is required to syncronize the related output and localization auxiliar paths. On the other hand, if the directory we are renaming through full path syncronization is an auxiliar path, it is required to determine first what is the related master path and later, perform the syncronization from master path to auxiliar paths as if the path provided would be the master path not the auxiliar path.
