My project is currently using a svn repository which gains several hundred new revisions per day. The repository resides on a Win2k3-server and is served through Apache/mod_dav_svn. I now fear that over time the performance will degrade due to too many revisions. Is this fear reasonable? We are already planning to upgrade to 1.5, so h...
I've got several modules containing functions, classes and templates that I keep in a directory called (hah!) 'reuse'. I know the content reasonably well, so to find a particular class or bit of code doesn't take too long, but it is slowly growing in size and I need some sensible method to store them for easy search & retrieval. How sho...
My normal work flow to create a new repository with subversion is to create a new repos, do a checkout of the repos root, create my branches tags and trunk folders and place in the trunk my initial files. Then I do a commit of this "initial import", delete the checked out repos from my hard drive and do a checkout of the trunk. Then I ca...
I am creating a new build process for a DotNet project which is to be held in Subversion. For each dll/exe that I compile (via Nant) I would like to include 2 additional attibutes in the dlls that are built. I already understand the workings of the 'asminfo' nant task. But I need help retrieving the information which I hope to embed in...
I'm responsible for several (rather small) programs, which share a lot of code via different libraries. I'm wondering what the best repository layout is to develop the different prorgrams (and libraries), and keep the libraries in sync across all the programs. For the sake of argument let's say there are two programs with two libraries:...
We are in the process of moving our SVN repositories from one machine to another one, and with it will come a new domain name for the new repo. The problem is, that within the repository, there are lots of svn:externals references to other projects within the repository. So for example, we have projectA, which has in the svn:externals ...
Hi, Does anyone know of an easy way to import a legacy project, whose "version control system" is a series of dated folders, into SVN, so that the history of the revisions is preserved? The project I inherited was not under version control, and there are hundreds of folders, each dated like: 2006-11-26, 2006-11-27, etc... Thankfully i...
First, I know about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/51217/how-would-you-organize-a-subversion-repository-for-in-house-software-projects Next, the actual question: My team is restructuring our repository and I'm looking for hints on how to organize it. (SVN in this case). Here's what we came up with. We have one repository, multi...
I've seen a number of questions asking about a web SVN repository-browsing tool. However, of the ones I've taken a look at, they either require a specific username/password to be configured, rely on default access to the repository being available, or require a separate user database outside Subversion. In a corporate setting, SVN repo...
This is a newbie Q, but What is the difference between a Snapshot Repository v/s Release Repository? This is with reference to setting up Repositories (like Artifactory, Nexus etc) ...
I know of a couple, and I've seen several blogs which include scripts sporadically, but I was wondering if there were any other good places to look. http://powershell.com/cs/media/13/default.aspx http://powershellcommunity.org/Scripts.aspx ...
Some repository clones I have allow me to do this: % git pull % git push But other repositories require me to type: % git pull origin master % git push origin master I think I am missing something in the latter case - does anyone know what is (not) going on here? I am using the latest git version, just obviously not using it well....
A few times already, I got into situations where one of my SVN repository got corrupt and we could do anything with some versions or branches of the project without really knowing what we did. So I'm asking what can cause a repository to become corrupt? ...
I'm looking for a VM management solution that will allow me to easily maintain VMs in a single repository accessible on the corporate intranet. I'm currently looking into VMware's vCenter, HP's Manager, Microsoft's VM Manager. vCenter seems to require an ESX server, which I'm not very happy about. I haven't looked into others yet. Bu...
Today our virtual W2003 server storing our SVN repository (too) became very-very busy. It turned out that it had only 88KB free space left on the C: drive. Not that good. Due to access problems, the only way we could reboot it by killing the busy processes from task manager (McAffee, SqlServer, services.exe) and then gracefully reboot. W...
I have an existing bare git repository located in /home/myaccount/git/project. I am currently using it over ssh from my local machine without any problems. I want to add a second user on the server which only shall access to this git repository (maybe move the repo outside my account folder?). How? Using latest version of git and ubuntu ...
Is it possible for an Subversion client to break a repository in any way? This could be any sort of destructive disruption, but it must be such that it cannot be recovered from without restoring the repository from a backup. Obviously, deleting everything and then checking that it is easy to fix simply with a rollback, so I am looking f...
Is it possible to import a directory tree into subversion if a large number of the files already exist in the repository? Many of the files that will be imported will match those in the repository, both in path and content, but some will be older, and some will be newer, and some files will be in either the repo or the imported tree but ...
Computer science and programming is a field with a relatively short history but it is developing very rapidly. Is there a repository for existing historical software or somewhere that I could submit software of historical interest? I've asked this, and answered using the standard SO paradigm, because I thought it would be of general in...
Hi all, I am just starting to use "Subversion" with "Tortoise SVN client" for one of my opensource project which is hosted on "Google Code". I would like to get some best practices on using it. I am following the default folder structure(trunk,branch,tag). Following are the questions When will you do the initial checkin? Is it only af...
