Source Control: Multiple repositories for the same project

Is it possible to have multiple repositories for the same project? I am currently using SVN with TortoiseSVN with the repositories on an external hard disk at my home, and well as regards a backup-wise solution, this isn't ideal.

Tortoisesvn using svn:mergeinfo, is there a way to turn it off?

When I'm doing a tortoise svn merge, it includes a bunch of directories, and some files into the modified files, even know there are no actual changes. It changes the property svn:mergeinfo Is there any reason why these properties set on the directory/files are needed? Is there any way to get around not doing these changes to svn:mer...

How can I move my repository in Tortoise SVN?

I was working with a single repository for a while. Now, I would like to create another repository for a different programming environment (that uses a different language and project altogether). To do this in a structured way, I would prefer to have one root directory where I would be able to collect different repositories. But I can ...

How do I overwrite my local changes in TortoiseSVN?

Lets say I did a check out, edited some stuff and realized I want to re-download the repository code and overwrite my local changes without commiting them.

Subversion with 32 bit server and 32/64 bit clients

Good morning; my google-fu seems to be lacking today. I've just been upgraded to a Vista64 machine, and we only now have a 32 bit subversion server. I assume there is no problem using 64bit tortoisesvn with the 32 bit server ? Thanks. Max. (Edit) Thank you all. ...

SVN Export with revision history problem

I need to provide our clients with a dump of a single sub directory in our SVN repository along with the revision history if possible. I know that you can do a dump but I don't believe you can tell it to isolate a single sub directory in the repo. If I export i'll only get the head or a single revision, this is not what I need. Is there ...

Local copy of SVN repository, syncing to remote copy?

Is there any way I can check in/out of a local repository, and have those changes sync with the remote repository in the background? Internet connection where we are is weak, and the repository is huge. When I want to browse the repository with TortoiseSVN's Repo Browser, I can wait 30 minutes to load the repository information. Ideall...

VisualSVN is annoying me by asking me to enter my login & password many times

My VisualVSN is hooked up to Active Directory. I'm using Tortoise as the client. When I was using SVNSERVE and the text files for authentication, it only asks me for the login/password once. Now it's asking me it many times when I connect. To get around that, I would have to check the "save authentication" information checkbox. I could d...

How to do non-recursive commits with TortoiseSVN?

When I modify a property (say, svn:ignore) on the top most directory I checked out (most of the time it's trunk, anyway), using TortoiseSVN the client(s) recursively go through the complete project. Big tree, much data, takes a long time. How can I avoid this? There may be changes somewhere else but I know that I'm just not interested ...

Remove subversion sourcecontrol from a project (visual studio/tortoiseSVN)

I am implementing the use of Subversion as a source control tool for my projects, but made some mistakes when determining what structure to use. So I added version control to some folders (projects), that I would like to undo. But I can't seem to find a way to do that? Do I have to copy the folder, delete the original and add source con...

SVN management on a project that uses absolute paths.

I've heard before that including project and workspace/solution files in source control is generally bad practice anyhow but I wanted to get feedback on the best way to handle this situation. My work has requested I set up a source control service for my department (which i've been asking for since day 1, 3 years ago). My biggest hurdl...

Eclipse is renaming files in my svn repository

I have some repositories on a svn server which include an Eclipse project. In those repositories it is put the bin folder because I have some properties files and I couldn't run the program without putting them in that folder.

How to get started with svn:externals?

I'm looking for a succinct and well-written tutorial on using svn:externals. I already know how to use them in a basic way myself, but I want a good article that I can link to when answering questions like this one that come up recently: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/662898/what-to-do-with-multiple-projects-depend-on-the-same-s...

TortoiseSVN not asking for authentication?

I've setup a new SVN repository, running SVNServe, in the conf file, anon-access = none. SVNServe faithfully does that correctly, but when I try to browse the repos using TortoiseSVN, it just says access is not allowed. Shouldn't it ask me for the user name and password instead? How do I get TortoiseSVN to ask me for the login details?...

What's the best way to clean up a Subversion repository?

I have a growing repository containing a dozen or so projects that I maintain using TortoiseSVN (as I am completely new to this and don't know the ins and outs yet). The space I have to hold the repository is limited so I want to back it up, then remove some of the older versions. For example, if a project is at version 50, I want to kee...

List all svn:externals recursively?

How can I get a list of all svn:externals (recursively) in a directory? Is there any utility for this? (I'm using Windows (and tortoise)) I have a bunch of svn:externals linking to different shared parts of my project and I when I branch it's usually quite error prone to find all externals and changed them so that the link to paths wit...
