Syncronizing path information is the action of keeping all path information up to date in the repository. This action implies both file movement and replacement of content inside files already moved, in this very specific order. File movement is related to actions like duplicate, delete and rename files and directories in the repository. Replacement of content inside files is related to replace information, path information in this case, inside files in the repository. The order followed to syncronize path information is relevant because the versioned nature of the files we are working with. We don't perform file content replacement first because that would imply a repository change which will immediatly demmand a commit in order for actions like duplicate, delete or rename to take place. However, if we perform file movement first, it is possible to commit both file moved and file content replacements as if they were just one change. In this case the file content replacement takes palce in the target location that have been duplicated or renamed, not the one use as source location. This configuration is specially useful when files are renamed (i.e., one file is copied from a source location to a target location and then the source location of it is removed from repository). 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 commands instead. When one master path is changed it is required that all related auxiliar paths be changed, too. This is required in order for master paths to retain their relation with auxiliar paths. This way, automation scripts are able to know where to retrive translation messages from, where to store final output images to and where to look for documentation. If 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. The auxiliar paths should never be modified under any reason but to satisfy the relationship with the master path. Liberal change of auxiliar paths may suppress the conceptual idea they were initially created for; and certainly, automation scripts may stop working as expected. The update direction to rename path information must be from master path to auxiliar path and never the opposite. The relation between master and auxiliar paths is useful to keep repository organized but introduce some complications when we work with files that use master path information as reference to build structural information. This is the case of repository documentation manual source files where inclusions, menus, nodes and cross references are built using master path information as reference. Now, to see what kind of complication we are talking about, consider what would happen to a structural definitions (i.e., inlusions, menus, nodes and cross refereces) already set in the manual from one master path that is suddenly renamed to something different. If the path information is not syncronized, at this point, we lose connection between the master path and the auxiliar path created to store the related documentation entry, as well as the related structural definitions that end up pointing to a master path that no longer exist. The syncronization of path information is aimed to solve these kind of issues.
