SVN: Inquire usage practice

Hi folks: Our team creates sole bug-branch, from trunk, intended for bugs-fixing; verifying on PROD, we need to merge codes back into trunk.

The post-commit hook executes the following command: /usr/bin/svn update /path/to/working/copy It was working fine until I enabled the Apache mod_dav Require valid-user directive.

Is author name in SVN changelog reliable for tracking authorship?

In multi-user environment it's sometimes very useful to know the real author of each changeset in the SVN repository. I see there's "Edit author" in Tortoise SVN.

Tortoise usage pattern no longer works: sort by creation date, nor sort by revision is possible

I have been using Tortoise for years. My standard usage idiom is to have my win explorer view set to my default sort the files in inverse cronological order by modify date. Problem: if you have to do a full checkout, the modify date becomes the create date which is the date of the checkout. So... in that case I sort in inverse revisio...

Automatically export contents of svn repository to another directory?
