svn import adds and commits a dir,but dir cant be browsed..

Question

Hi,

I have a project repos already under svn control on a machine on LAN.When i browse through the machine containing the repos... i can see the folders physically present at the repos path.

Then at sometime i imported a directory to the repos path....it added and commited it to the repos...but on browsing i cant see that dir at the repos path..

using svn list shows me that the imported directory exists and i can checkout it fine too...but why cant i browse it using the repos machine or sshing the repos machine?? is it hidden or something??

and if i remember it correctly once i had to add a new dir to the repos...i checked out the trunk with -N flag and then added the dir using svn add and committed it back...that way the dir did show when browsed... so why are imported dirs hidden??

Thanks.

Answer 1

why would you want to browse your repo directly? As far as i know you can CORRUPT it if you're not careful.

check the code out and play with it locally

Answer 2

What kind of method are you trying to browse it, and what URLs do you use to checkout your project?

Browsing using a web browser only makes sense if you're hosting the repository over http(s) using Apache.
