yum install subversion1.4.3

How can I reach/install an old subversion package (v1.4.3) without build any sources ? In fact, the distrib I use is not a FC1 but a "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)". Do you know some "subversion binaries repositories" where such a configuration may be available for download ? ...

How much of the power of git is lost by using git-svn and a shared subversion mainline?

I'm evaluating various options for getting our team away from CVS. We have another large team on another site using Subversion, and some of our developers work with the Subversion server. Therefore, Subversion is an obvious choice for our team. However: Operations involving the Subversion server can be coffee-break slow (although we ha...

CruiseControl.rb SVN Access Denied

I'm having a problem where I have been able to add a project to CC.rb perfectly fine but when I start the service I get "Access Denied" messages each time it checks with Subversion for a newer version.

What is the best strategy when migrating from ClearCase to SVN?

We are considering moving from ClearCase to Subversion. The project has been there for a while (7 years) and there are three "major" versions (branches) that we actively support, plus some occasional fixes in older releases. The project is fairly large - around 2 mln lines of java code. I am curious if there is someone that has done sim...

Collabnet SVN Log files, are there any?

My svn server is acting funky. We're using Collabnet svn binary on a Windows machine. Does anyone know if the server has log files I can examine to find out what locks up my server (large commits hang)? Thank you. ...

TortoiseSVN: What causes the grey checkmark?

Let me start by explaining our set-up: I am working with some contractors. They are using Visual Source Safe for source control and our company is using Subversion. Every few days they preform a checkin to our repository by doing the following steps: Checkout from our repository (they're the only ones working on it so this doesn't a...

Can I keep CruiseControl.Net's ccnet.config in svn, then have CruiseControl update its own config file when a change is checked in?

I'd like to be able to keep our CruiseControl.Net's ccnet.config file in svn, then when I check in a change, ie, I've added a new project, it will update itself. This way I have the config file under source control and I can track the changes being made. I do realize that I could check in a change that will screw up CruiseControl to a ...

Implementing a Code Freeze with Subversion

Say I'm working on a project and I know that I've completed a specific class and that it should not be edited again, ever. How can I lock this class so no more commits on it can happen? I've tried locking it, but that only lasts one commit and still allows me to edit it. Reasoning: I have a class that performs one thing, and one thing...

Plugin for Tortoise SVN get Redmine's issue list, plugin in Delphi

I downloaded tortoise plugin samples, but I don't know how to implement it on Delphi. I have successfully compile C# sample, and use it on a repository, but my knowledge in C# for general development is poor. In other hande, I don't know how to start creating that plugin in Delphi, but after that I think would be easy for me. I want to...

Is it possible to alias a branch in Git?

I am looking into using git on a massive scale. I was hoping to increase adoption and make things easier by calling the master branch trunk. This can and will give SVN users some feelings of comfort. I know I can create a branch called trunk but that seems to deviate from the git norms and might cause some users to get confused. I kn...

Subclipse with SVNKit Adapter

Hi, I have two questions and some context. I am installing Subclipse 1.4.x into Eclipse Ganymede and I'm thinking that I should use the SVNKit Adapter. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 which comes with Subversion 1.4.x and since the JavaHL Adapter requires Subversion 1.5.x using a pure Java solution like SVNKit seems like a good solution. Which p...

Tortoise SVN Command Problem

I am trying to use the Tortoise SVN command line utility TortoiseProc.exe. The docs suggest that a command line like this: "TortoiseProc.exe" /command:diff afile.cpp` should do a diff and display the results in the configured diff viewer (in my case Tortoise's own one), but instead nothing happens - the viewer is not launched & no err...

Subversive (Eclipse SVN plugin) reports externals as obstructed

After doing a fresh checkout using Subversive, some of the directories retrieved because of svn:external properties are showing up as obstructed. However not all of them are. A command-line use of "svn status" properly shows all the directories as externals with no obstructions. Why is this happening? ...

How to layout folders locally and in SVN when using eclipse

I've been working with eclipse and SVN for many years in teams from a single developer up to 12 and I always was the one to setup our folder structure. I managed to get it working somehow, but I feel that my folder layout is far from optimal. It's hard to tell what my typical folder layout looked like, because it looked very different ea...

Weird Apache2.2 SVN error, "Expected repository format '3' or '5'; found format '9'"

I've had a repo that I would access, using TortoiseSVN, from only the same computer on which the Subversion win32 service was running, and it's been working for a while now. I decided to try to set up mod_dav_svn to be able to get at it from elsewhere. When I try to access it, I get this error in the browser: <D:error> <C:error/> <m:h...

Manage local SVN file structures with PHP

Hello all, I have a developer tool that modifies the local file system using php. These projects are often checked out from SVN. The issue that I would like to avoid is the moving / deleting / renaming of version controlled directoires - and the breakage that occurs to a checked out SVN when doing those alterations locally. Is there...

Is there anyway to get TortoiseSVN to act more like TortoiseCVS?

I work in a mixed source control environment. We are still mostly on CVS, but newer projects are in SVN. However, I am finding it hard to get buy-in for SVN because TortoiseSVN doesn't work like TortoiseCVS. The 3 way merge has a lot of cognitive dissonance and while TortoiseCVS seems to always get the merges right, TortoiseSVN almo...
