After some research I have found that it is possible to move files out of one repo and into another, separate repo and still maintain the associated history. The process includes dumping the entire repo to file, filtering that dump file for the paths/files you want (assuming you don't want to move everything), then loading said dump file...
We are just starting to be using subversion as our SCM software at my job, I would need some advise here. My project manager would like to use only one instance of a software to manage every projects we have (so we don't want to install a trac instance for each project we start it's kind of an overload).I heard trac can support multiple...
Hi, I am new to SVN, and I am trying to copy an existing project(just the trunk) and create a new project in the same repository. We are creating the same application for a different audience, so I would like to copy the existing code base and create this new code base. I didn't want to branch/tag as these are going to be completely diff...
I am getting ready to set up an SVN repository, and was wondering if anyone had a good example for a repo structure. I am currently thinking: Development .. Applications .... App1 ...... trunk ...... branches ...... tags .. Database .. Third Party While this structure could probably hold everything we need, I would l...
I can't seem to find this one! So say someone like "Joe" (the Author) submits his code into the svn repository with the message "Fixed this bug and that bug yada yada" (his Comments). I'd like to get, via the svn.exe command line, the Author and his Comments for the latest revision. Maybe someone can tell me what arguments I could use ...
The project I work on has recently been switched from a horribly antiquated revision control system to Subversion. I felt like I had a fairly good understanding of Subversion a few years ago, but once I learned about Mercurial, I forgot about Subversion quickly. My question is targeted at those who work with a sizable number (15+) deve...
I've been using Git for the past few months and love it. I looked into how to host it in a corporate environment. Considering a 10 person team who use Visual SourceSafe, programming in Coldfusion, Powerbuilder, PHP and a bit of .NET, I found, to my surprise, that the Git 'server' tooling is still fairly rudimentary. http://stackoverflo...
using subclipse, how do i commit my older unchanged file over someone else's bodged-up newer version of the file? i seem to remember there being an 'override and commit' option in older versions, or maybe that was another version control product... cheers. ...
I am attempting to import a very large directory structure to svn with tortoisesvn. The server disconnected about 1.5 Gigs into the operation. Do I simply run the import command again? Will it start back up where it left off? Or will it start importing all the files all over again? ...
I have created an SVN repository for project but now realise that the files initially imported are not the most recent. When I compare the 2 versions of the project with Beyond Compare, the projects do not have the exact same set of files within them. Both project folders have some files which are unique. I want to now add the correct ...
A Google search revealed the existence of some custom scripts, for example PVCS --> CVS and then cvs --> svn should be quite straightforward. But ... Has anyone really tried them? With which versions of the platforms? Other migration experiences might be useful to know about too. Thanks. ...
I am thinking about installing subversion on a windows Virtual Machine that is hosted elsewhere and do not want to install apache. Am I limited to access it using the svn: protocol? Does it work well offsite? Any body has any experience with this? Thanks ...
I'm working with pysvn, and I'm trying to find a decent way to handle repositories that are only accessible via svn+ssh. Obviously SSH keys make this all incredibly easy, but I can't guarantee the end user will be using an SSH key. This also has to be able to run without user interaction, because it's going to be doing some svn log parsi...
So I have a web system where every user gets a separate SQLite database which acts as a sort of their workspace. All of the database files are in a directory with database names that match up to the user ids. Many of these databases are created and rarely, if ever, edited. Others have many edits on a daily basis. To manage backups on t...
This is my first time trying to use any SCM so please bear with me. Following the SVN manual, I create a repo in an empty directory. All good. Then I try to import an existing project folder. I'm using the shell command but it's like this: Import C:\Users\aaa\SVN\proj to file:///C:/proj_2 Unable to open an ra_local session to URL Unab...
I'm working on a project with 2 more developers. The problem is that 1 developer is using SVN and the other developer and I using github. Is there a way to keep everything synced on both sides SVN and git? ...
Hello, I have created a subversion post-commit hook to send out an email everytime a commit is made.Im calling a python script from the file post-commit in /var/svn/repos/hooks . REPOS="$1" REV="$2" ~/svnnotify.py $REV But the problem is that the svn commit command is taking a longer time to terminate as it waits for the python sc...
All greetings. Installed and configured the SVN, but the project is to commit a mistake and not complete. Server nginx, client - tortoise. Gives the following error: Commit failed (details follow): Server sent unexpected return value (405 Not Allowed) in response to PUT request for '/repos/!svn/wrk/79c6d77f-f269-1044-bc71-05a...
Under a bare bones setup for SVN on windows (without using VisualSVN), as per the instructions, the passwords are to be entered in the passwd file. Does SVN provide a way to encrypt or atleast mask this file? as if a person has access to the server directories, he can quite casually edit these files in plain text and come to know of all...
I'm looking for a version control system just for me on my windows computer to integrate into eclipse. I was thinking to use Mercurial instead of Subversion, but I'm having doubts about the mercurial eclipse plugin. Any input on this that you can help me with? Is it worth it to have a version control system when you're working alone, ho...
