Does anyone know where a log of who connected to my subversion server and what they did with it is? I'm looking to find out what time and which files were checked out.

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 a server that hosts my Subversion code base. That server is currently a Server 2003 box, and my IT admin wants to update it to Server 2008. This means that I'm going to need to move my Subversion repository while the server gets built up and was wondering what the best practices are for moving the repository to a new server. It...
Up till now I have been developing my personal and school projects at home without using any form of revision control software to handle my changes and whatnot. My question is, how feasible is it to use a Version Control application (such as TortoiseSVN) for personal projects I do for myself (and even school projects) ? Is it worth the...

I'm a newbie with Subversion, so I don't now if this is a dumb question: I've inherited a subversion repository with a flat structure ( no trunk/tags/branches top level). I'd like re-structure it so that it follows the /trunk /tags /branches layout. Is this possible? ...
This afternoon, upon noticing a broken build and the fact that some files looked like very old versions (about 2 weeks old), I checked the svn log. Apparently just this afternoon, 1 of the developers did an "svn copy" of a directory from an older revision to the same directory. Thus it appears that the latest version "i.e. head" of all...

Now I need to be able to access my code repository remotely, like from school, so that I will be able to update the source at school from the repository, and commit it again once I have finished work...
Some servers only support ftp to upload files. When I export the a project from my subversion repository to my windows machine, all (linux) symlinks are replaces by placeholder-files: link ../www_public/images after uploading the all exported files I now use find | xargs grep -P ^link to find all those placeholders. I then repla...
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...
I browsed around here on Stackoverflow and found this topic : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/279/aspnet-visual-studio-and-subversion-how-to-integrate However that didn't help me in my case, or i might just be a little stupid. So to my problem! Installed VisualSVN on a Server far far away and while this works perfectly, i can add m...
I received a dump file of a SVN repository that I'm moving to my server. Let's call it myserver.com/svn. The load statement prints out a long list of files loaded and reports no error. However, once I try to access the repository for checkout, or relocate my existing checkout, I'm told: Repository moved temporarily to 'http://www.mys...
Im pulling my hair out on this one. I have a site which is version controlled using SVN, I use aptana (eclipse, subclipse) to do the svn. I have been checking in and out files, updating etc and everything is fine. However the system we have been building has been adding its own files and folders. When I try to commit these, it tells me...

My ideal system would allow me to checkin revisions to a repository on my laptop that would then sync with our main SVN repository when I connect to the company network. when syncing w...
