Tortoise SVN repository became corrupt - can we commit working copy to an older backup of repository?

Our tortoiseSVN repository unfortunately became corrupt today due to a disk glitch. We have a good working copy based off revision 2897. Our most recent backup repository is from revision 2848. We would like to salvage as much as possible of the history, rather than start a new repository. So, can we do this by committing the working ...

Source Control System for Binary File

We use subversion, which works great for software projects. We also have a lot of flash projects, which we don't use any kind of source control. Each flash project contain quite a few images. The time frame of each project is a couple weeks, but few can go upto a couple months. The number of files we create contribute to quite a bit of ...

Output log statements in commit hooks to subversion log.

I have a bunch of commit hooks to put in place on a Subversion repo and I'd really like if messages written to stdout in these hooks would appear in the subversion log. It doesn't seem like this is directed anywhere (other than perhaps /dev/null) at the moment. I'd prefer not to have to create a separate log for this information. Is it p...

tortoisesvn not detecting change to SVN repository

we recently had our SVN repository disappear from the server hosting it. We still haven't figured out how it happened, but we had a semi-recent backup which we were able to use to recover the repository. We didn't lose any work (everyone had back ups of their most recent changes on their hard drives) but the revision numbers essentiall...

How can I resolve locked directory that has not yet been added to the repository?

I know how I got here: I tried to add an entire directory tree to my repository, but one of the subdirectories I did not have write permissions. So when I did svn add, I got errors (which I didn't record, sorry.) Now, if I do svn status inside the directory I get a whole list of files. Yay! But when I try an svn commit I get the "direct...

Re-establish history for files renamed by delete/add in Subversion

Someone has inadvertently renamed a file in an SVN working copy by deleting the old one and adding the renamed file, instead of using the proper SVN rename command. Changes have continued to be made to the new file, but unfortunately the history is now broken. Unless you know where to look, you wouldn't even know that this is a problem. ...

where to get all possible tags/values for "svn status --xml" ?

"svn status --xml" prints all files status and it's more much useful than parsing "svn status" output. Is there a list of all possible tags/sections in XML file and their values? I can read SVN sources but its time consuming and a dirty method :). Thank you! ADD: is it possible to find clean map from "svn status --xml" values to "svn ...

Can I use this command only (old backup is replaced by the new one) or do I need...

Re-importing from CVS into Subversion

The problem I'm trying to solve is not dissimilar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3762124/subversion-out-of-sync-with-production-code-easiest-way-to-update-subversion but somewhat different. I converted a (Java) project from CVS to SVN (using cvs2svn, retaining full history) - say at version 1.00 Development on version 2.00 conti...

SVN: translation between path and node ids?

I have some build info used to identify at runtime the Subversion version # and the URL of the source directory within the repository. Does SVN use any kind of node ID to identify paths? I'm using an embedded system with a communications link that does not deal well with large data fields, and would be much happier using a 32- or 64-bit...

svn: merging while maintaining variants between branches

Is there a way to tell SVN when it is merging, that one or more files are special and should not be merged? I am dealing with a couple of build trees which need different unique IDs to distinguish them, and every time we re-merge files, it is a pain to maintain those IDs. ...

Submitting Hg changes back to SVN

Hi, I've began work in an SVN repository. I've cloned a subfolder of it into a local Hg repo with hg clone. Afterwards, I wanted to share this with a colleague who does not have access to the SVN repository. I've created a private BitBucket repository, and we occasionally pushed the changes, and hence I had to pull them. hgsubversion...
