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 am working with a SVN repository with many projects. I need to move a few of the projects out of that repository into individual repositories, one for each project, keeping the history. I've been able to use svnadmin dump to dump the entire repository and svnadmin load it into another repository, but I can find a way of dumping only on...

In my project, specifically, I'm wondering about: .metadata/* project-dir/.project project-dir/.classpath project-dir/.settings/* If there are any of these for which is depends, please explain your guidelines. ...
I have heard that uploading your website with FTP is now for n00bs, but it's the only way I've known how for the 8 or so years I've been building websites. Apparently all the buzz now is using a version control system, like SVN or Git, and somehow using SSH to upload only the files that have changed (if I understand correctly). I'm won...
Subversion lets you embed working copies of other repositories using externals, allowing easy version control of third-party library software in your project. While these seem ideal for the reuse of libraries and version control of vendor software, they aren't without their critics: Please don't use Subversion externals (or similar ...

At my office we have an SVN server set up and I'd like to know how much traffic it is using. I'm not interested in the bandwidth, just the total number of 1s and 0s the SVN service is sending/receiving. The data will all be going via the svn:// protocol, and the server is running XP pro. ...
At the moment we are checking out our php producation code straight into www.

We've got a situation where someone (not me...really :)) really screwed up a Commit to our SVN server...lot's of files deleted, etc. Question: What is the technique for making the previous (to the bad Commit) revision the HEAD revision? I've seen discussion here on SO for doing this for 1 file, but we'd like to make it like that last c...
We are currently reviewing how we store our database scripts (tables, procs, functions, views, data fixes) in subversion and I was wondering if there is any consensus as to what is the best approach? Some of the factors we'd need to consider include: Should we checkin 'Create' scripts or checkin incremental changes with 'Alter' script...
We have a project where a vendor produces some custom code for us and we produce the backend content. Every time they ship us a new version, we manually merge that whole folder structure into our repository. This is easy for added and modified files (just copy/paste), but I have to create a batch script to delete all the files/folders th...
Hi Is it possible to get a list of all files modified/added/deleted by a particular user? The goal is to get an idea of what a user did for the day (or date range). ...
I work with a number of new tech support folks. Sometimes, they like to fix small issues which may not be a high priority for our developers. This requires teaching SVN basics to non-programmers, which I've found can get a little tricky. What resources have you found useful? Are there diagrams you typically utilize to teach SVN? ...
If I am storing the Subversion user names and passwords for repository access in a text file in the conf folder, what is the maximum length of the passwords I can use? That is to say, how long can the secrets in the following file be? [users] harry = harryssecret sally = sallyssecret ...
Most my sources are in subversion and I use '$Id$' to add revision information to those sources. Then I can easily check what sources were used (e.g.. --version option shows that info). Now I'm going to use bazaar and I can't find such a functionality. Is there any equivalent of svn '$Id$' in bazaar? ...

Ok so I just did something boneheaded. I'm setting up a subversion server for the first time ever that will be used by contractors. I did the 1 click setup, created my project and did my first check in of our application thinking that I'll go through later and remove the password information in the connection string in the configuratio...
