Hi Fred, Was there a message complaining that svn-commit.tmp was not modified ? Subversion uses svn-commit.tmp int the following way: 1. It writes the skeleton 2. It calls the editor (defined by the environment, commandline, or configured when svn was built) 3. It waits for the editor to exit 4. It examines svn-commit.tmp If the editor is the actual emacs executable, this works correctly. However, if your editor is a pass-this-filename-to-the-running-instance-and-exit helper, Subversion reads the file before emacs had a chance to change it. I've seen this happen with nedit, when EDITOR=nedit-client. Hope this helps, Csaba -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts. "Ok, it boots. Which means it must be bug-free and perfect.

No, it's working as designed. The error message clearly states what needs to be done (remove the offending item, commit, update, then re-run the merge). It's not a nice design, of course. Efforts are being undertaken to fix this problem as part of a complete rewrite of the working copy handling code. The result of which is going to be released in Subversion 1.7. Stefan
about the installation error of viewvc
Hi all I have installed the subversion 1.6.12 (r955767) on centos5.5, and integrated the subversion into apache httpd service, and I can visit the repos using http protocol from internet explorer. Then I want to view the repos source code online, so I installed the ViewVC 1.1.6. Then I modified the viewvc.conf as follows svn_roots = svnrepos: /var/svn/repos root_parents = /var/svn : svn when I visit viewvc using explorer, error message displayed as follows. An Exception Has Occurred Python Traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/lib/viewvc.py", line 4443, in main request.run_viewvc() File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/lib/viewvc.py", line 398, in run_viewvc self.view_func(self) File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/lib/viewvc.py", line 1860, in view_roots allroots = list_roots(request) File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/lib/viewvc.py", line 4300, in list_roots cfg.utilities, cfg.options.svn_config_dir) File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/lib/vclib/svn/__init__.py", line 53, in SubversionRepository import svn_repos File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.2-dev/lib/vclib/svn/svn_repos.py", line 24, in ? from svn import fs, repos, core, client, delta ImportError: No module named svn I have also installed viewvc1.1.3, the same errors occurred.

Re: about the installation error of viewvc
Give CollabNet Subversion Edge a try. It provides a complete stack of Apache, Subversion and ViewVC that are all pre-configured to work together. You also get a web-based UI for configuring and managing the server: http://www.open.collab.net/products/subversion/whatsnew.html?cid=sefp0810 On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 7:37 AM, Feng WANG wrote: > Hi all > > > > I have installed the subversion 1.6.12 (r955767) on > centos5.5, and integrated the subversion into apache httpd service, and I > can visit the repos using http protocol from internet explorer. > > Then I want to view the repos source code online, so I installed the ViewVC > 1.1.6.

RE: Subversion encountered a serious problem - during svn update
Hello, The below is occurring now with Java files also, so it doesn't seem to be discriminating at all. The only way for me to get around it is to delete working copy and check out head. Repository has been svnadmin verified. Is there any information I could give that would be helpful to anyone who could look at this? I'd love to make the switch to svn, but this is going to be a show stopper. I haven't been able to find much mention of solutions to similar problems anywhere. Thanks in advance to anyone who can peek.

Definitely, and I apologize. I am new to using mailing lists and didn't even think twice about it. The following error occurred when trying to update a working copy using Tortoise. The working copy was cleaned up, tried to update again, same message. Deleting entire working copy and checking out HEAD again had no problems. I searched the mailing list for related posts and could not find anything related besides commit messages. Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

It is an xml file that looks like it has gone back and forth in its revision history. Say a change was made in revision 3, the next revision may actually be a copy of revision 1 with one alteration. The next change may pull everything from 3 back in, etc. etc. Should this just not be done? We are actually in the process from migrating from VSS to SVN (finally!!), so this history is actually coming from our current VSS repo, which does not have a problem it. Thanks guys.

Hook to check for a presence of file before committing
Hi, I am just getting started with SVN and I am running the latest version of subversion on a Windows Server. I am looking for a pre-commit.bat hook that will check for presence of a particular file (say project.xml) before commiting to the repository. If the working copy that is about to be committed does not have that file then the commits are rejected else the commits are accepted. I tried looking into svnlook command but not sure how to that command to look for a particular file. I am using TortoiseSVN client. Thanks

If you're on x86_64 hardware, you may need to manually install the .i386 package as well to avoid confusing conflicts with the older packages from CentOS. But this operates beautifully. Those play very nicely together.

I'm sorry, that feature is not available. You can only see the list of repositories in a web browser, not in a Subversion client. (And that assumes you've added "SVNListParentPath on" to your Apache configuration.)

Subversion hook scripts run on the server, not the client, so they have no knowledge of the user's working copy. So there's no way to do what you want using Subversion's server-side hook scripts. > I am using TortoiseSVN client. I believe TortoiseSVN has client-side hook scripts that are separate from Subversion's server-side hook scripts. Perhaps you can do what you want that way. Even if you could, that would require all your users to use TortoiseSVN, and they could simply bypass the restriction by using another client.

In hook scripts, people commonly use "svnlook changed", but that only tells you what files changed in a revision, or in a transaction. It does not tell you what is in the HEAD of the repository, and it does not tell you what is in the user's working copy. So unless your requirement is that the user modify your project.xml file with every commit, this will not help you. Perhaps if you explain why you want to check for the existence of this file in the working copy we can help you find a different way of going about it.
Re: Hook to check for a presence of file before committing
>Perhaps if you explain why you want to check for the existence of this file in the working copy we can help you find a different way of >going about it. OK. Let me try to explain this. The code that we are trying to commit is generated by an IDE - a software development tool. The particular file (project.xml) is usually an optional file that is up to the developers/user to generate. However we would like to enforce a policy where all the developers before they commit their changes make sure that the project.xml is also generated and then only a successful commit occurs. Does this help?

You usually don't commit generated artifacts, but the base source artifacts that are used to generate your artifacts. For example, is there a project file that your IDE uses to generate the code? If so, you may want to commit that instead. It is possible to verify that a project.xml is one of the files being committed because you can use "svn changed" at the time of the transaction to see what files are being added or modified. It would be possible to fail the transaction if svnlook changed doesn't have a project.xml file in the list. I would suggest you use Python or Perl as your hook script language. One of the advantages of a server side hook is that it only has to run on a single machine (the server). A scripting language like Python or Perl is a bit more flexible for writing hooks than Batch or even Power Shell. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
