Subversion

Procedures

Create repository

You can use this bash syntax to create a repository with the standard directories: trunk, branches and tags:

REPOS=/path/to/repos
svnadmin create $REPOS
svn mkdir -m 'Initial repository directories' file://$REPOS/{trunk,branches,tags}

Moving a subversioned/checked-out project

1. Make sure the old project has all local modifications committed: svn status; svn commit
2. Create a new project directory with a repos subdirectory: mkdir -p new_proj/repos
3. Copy the repository: cp old_proj/repos/* new_proj/repos
4. Checkout the new project: cd new_proj/workdir; svn checkout file:///new_proj/repos/trunk .
5. Copy the remaining files from the old project: cp -r --reply=no * ../arcproj

Undo putting (binary) files under version control

As long as you haven't committed the working directory changes to the repository, you can easily remove the (binary) files from the working directory version control.

Remember you can't use svn rm file, because this will remove the file from your working copy as well.

svn revert file

Recursive removal of .svn directories

find . -type d -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \; -prune

Moving a file (+ history) from one repository to anothor

For example, moving the file '/trunk/foo' from repos1 to repos2.

   # Dump repository
svnadmin dump ./repos1 > repos1.svndump
   # Filter the svndump to hold the specific file as residue
svndumpfilter include trunk/foo < repos1.svndump > foo.svndump
   # Load file into new repository (make sure its directory exists)
svnadmin load ./repos2 < foo.svndump
