I did not follow the thread, but did you have a look at svndumpfilter?

I guess that part of this memory increasing of TortoiseProc is due to
the load of new Features in TortoiseSVN.

Also note that the wc.db only stores metadata, the pristine (base
revision) files are not stored in that database.

It took me a while but I finally took this package for a spin today.
Unfortunately, there seems to be something corrupt with the package:

bash-3.00# pkgadd -d CSVNclnt-1.7.0.1-x86-local
pkgadd: ERROR: attempt to process datastream failed
- bad format in datastream table-of-contents
pkgadd: ERROR: could not process datastream from


Can you verify? Has anyone else tried this package (1.7.0-rc2 for Solaris x86)?

I just downloaded and successfully installed the version I posted.  I
did it from the same site just to be sure it had not become corrupted
in posting it.

Did you use gzip -d to decompress it first?

To answer your other question, no you cannot install in a different
location.  AFAIK, you could not have two versions of the same package
installed anyway as I do not believe the Solaris package management
supports that.

aptana and subversion

[Tom Hale]

Hi SVN Users,

I'm having a strange issue in working with Aptana IDE and the SVN Plugin:

I can commit a file to the repository (in aptana, right click - team -
commit), but when I run svn update (SSH terminal), all I get is the new
revision number (at revision xxx).  No indication that the file was
added/changed etc.  This is a new issue as of last week - prior to last week
I was successful with svn update.

I can merge to a previous version of a file (that dates back to last week)
using svn merge -r XXX:XXX filename.

Is it possible that I have a corrupted file?

I'm 'dead in the water' so to speak until I get this resolved - so any
help/suggestion gratefully accepted.

Thank you.

Tom

1.7.0 upgrade doesn't properly follow svn:externals

[Scott Palmer]

Just tried 1.7.0RC2 and noticed that bugs with svn upgrade are still present.
If you have svn:externals in the top level of your working copy they seem to be 
converted, but if those external references also use svn:externals then those 
nested working copies are not upgraded.
Is anyone else seeing this?

problems with propset svn:ignore

[Randy Paries]

i though i understood but does not seem to be working as i expected

my current dir structure is
/
/inc
/userdirs/a/aa
/userdirs/b/ba
/userdirs/a hole bunch of recursive dirs
/bunchofotherdirs

so when i do a svn up i want to ignore or not update
userdirs and below
inc/settings.php

i have created a file in / called svnIgnoreFiles.me
i then did

[root@moosejaw html]# svn propset svn:ignore -F svnIgnoreFiles.me .
property 'svn:ignore' set on '.'

i delete userdirs/*

but when i do a svn up it still brings down from svn all the userdirs

what part am i missing??
thanks
Randy

configuring for changesets, on the server side

[Hahn, Christopher (SAN DIEGO)]

Hello,

I need to confirm that our SVN server is configured to support changesets.

I noticed that the output of a reviewboard call referred to our server not
having this capability turned off:
=
repository info: Path: https://svn.sdd.hp.com/rg0102/itsm-st, Base
path: /SharedTech/cwc/4.1.0-sm, Supports changesets: False
=

I am thinking that there is a global server property that I can set, but the 
red-bean
SVN manual does not refer to this. (not in any block of text that also refers to
changesets, I checked).

Any pointers into the docs appreciated.

Take care,

Christopher

There is no server-side changesets feature in SVN.  Maybe since Reviewboard
supports a variety of SCM tools this is something more generic, saying your
SCM does not support changesets, where as others like Git probably do?

Partial-tree merge

[Andreas Krey]

Hi everyone,

I have a question: I need to merge only some subtrees of a project which looks 
like
(names changed to protect the guilty):

  part/sub/view
  part/sub/watch
  part/sub/see
  part/sub/peer

I want only to merge 'watch' and 'view'. For 'view' I can just go into that
directory of a sandbox of the target branch and do 'svn merge'.

Unfortunately 'watch' does not exist in the target tree yet, so I can't
go in there to merge, and when I instead merge the entire 'path/sub'
and do only commit 'watch' I very much suspect that the mergeinfo will
be wrong, being set only on 'path/sub', but not on 'path/sub/watch'. (At
least, there is only a mergeinfo property on the merge base directory;
I doubt that a subtree commit will redistribute that.)

How can I gen svn to do what I want? [1]

Besides, when I'm getting tree conflicts of the add/add kind, and it's
(on 1.6.9) annoyingly complicated to get a diff between the working
copy file and the version on the branch just merged in (like 'svn cat
^/the/long/repo/pathname/of/module/branches/cvs/local/path/filename |
diff -u - filename'). Is there some trick?

Andreas

[1] I might add that the very ability to do partial merges is the main
reason I do not actively promote using git.

RE: configuring for changesets, on the server side

[Hahn, Christopher (SAN DIEGO)]

Well, my users are pushing back.

They pointed to a page that specifically describes the using ChangeSets from 
Eclipse+SVN:

SVN Workspace Synchronization:

http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/teamSupport/workspace_synch.php

I see there this description of the Show Change Set button:

Show Change Sets 
([http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/images/changeset.gif]) - 
displays specific model based on change sets. The view shows incoming changes 
grouped by commit comment which is handy for seeing who released what and why. 
For outgoing changes, the user can create change sets to group related changes.
For my users this functionality is not available.

I suppose that this might be a Client side config, and would really appreciate 
any pointers
to where this might be documented.

Thank you,

Christopher

Re: configuring for changesets, on the server side

[Mark Phippard]

OK, but now you have changed from a question about an error spit out of
Review Board to a feature in a specific SVN client.

Lots of SVN clients have some kind of changeset feature.  They are all
client-side only so refer to the documentation for the client you are using.
 There is no feature you have to enable on the server to turn this on.  The
user just has to use it.

script or tool to walk back thru 1 file's history diffing..

[subversion]

Would like to write a script to follow the history of a single
file, backwards, diffing the file w/it's prior version all the way
back to the 1st version.  

By using 'svn info' to get the last chgd rev, and running 'svn
diff -c $lastchgd_rev ...', this seems simple enough if the URL to
the file does not change; but if the pathname in svn to the file
is renamed there is no choice but to look at 'svn log', right?

svn:ignore is for ignoring unversioned files that you do not want to commit to 
a repository.

If the files are already committed to the repository, then svn:ignore is not 
applicable.
