svn 1.7 improvements: Large repo? (w/ 40,000 files)

2011-02-14 Thread NN Ott
Hello, I notice that svn v1.7 is slated to have a new transfer protocol as well as new WC module. ( http://subversion.apache.org/roadmap.html ) Right now, I have a repo with ~40,000 source and xml files. Full checkouts take forever. My machine is pretty beefy, so that's not the bottle neck. N

svn switch: No clobber certain things?

2011-02-14 Thread NN Ott
Hello, Here is what i've got: I've got an svn:external'd folder within my working copy in to which I've made some local changes. Short of writing a script, is there a command I can use to svn switch to a different branch, but not clobber my local changes in the svn:external'd folder? (Unless th

Can I commit under a different user name?

2011-01-11 Thread NN Ott
Hi all, If UserA checks out a working copy on to his machine, can UserB walk up to that machine and the commit changes under his own credentials? Would seem possible, but just wanted to double check if there are any pit falls. Thanks

Best way to maintain patches to a 3rd party library?

2011-01-04 Thread NN Ott
Hello, I have a source library that I need to periodically import (and then patch) for use by my code base. The SVN Book seems to reccomend a "vendor branch" scheme where you keep a patched branch of the "vendor drops". This would work, except that I loose any history of the library development.
