This morning, I tried to commit a revision to Subversion and found that all of a sudden I did not have permission to do so. Can't move '/svn/db/txn-protorevs/21000-ga9.rev' to '/svn/db/revs/21/21001': Permission Denied Looking at the revs directory, I noticed that somebody had committed the 21000th revision, and the group write permiss...

I have a simple NAnt build file, which attempts to perform an update from subversion on the specified directory.

I am using path-based authentication with svnserve, but it is giving me permission errors if I specify a repository. However, if I just specify a path then it authenticates. In my authz file, if I do this it works: [/my/path] my_username = r If I do this, it does not work: [svn:/my/path] my_username = r I'm fairly certain that "sv...
Here is the problem: We have all of our development under subversion, but our beta versions are just mish-mashed bits of exported files that were not all put there at the same time. Or, to put it another way, we make our changes to versioned files, and then when we think we are happy, we manually export them by simply copying them to a d...
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 ...
If I make changes in the trunk to 3 different files, say revisions 40, 45, and 47 respectively, where none of those files have changed since revision 15, how can I merge those revisions into the branch (made at revision 30 and unchanged since) so that I get just the changes between rev 15 and rev 40, 45, and 47 for each of the respective...

I have an svn repository where I have trunk and a branch. I intend to merge the trunk into the branch at regular intervals, however, when I do this I see many property status changes, in additional to actual file content changes. On further investigation the property changes are mergeinfo properties. I wouldn't expect this because we ...
I have a repository which I have already cloned from SVN. I've been doing some work in this repository in its Git form and I would hate to lose that structure by cloning again. However, when I originally cloned the repository, I failed to correctly specify the svn.authors property (or a semantically-similar option). Is there any way I...

We have a fairly large SVN repository which we are looking to migrate to perforce. We very much want to keep the ~20k revisions, the branches, etc, but in some initial tests the svn2p4 script that perforce provides wasn't able to replicate the full structure. Have people had success with this tool, or were there others that my google ...
I use an external diff tool with Subversion (Beyond Compare rules!), and one of the great features is being able to use the diff program to make some minor edits to the file as I'm reviewing the changes I've made. But svn diff works differently on different projects of mine. In all, the left-hand file is a temp file containing the late...
