Hi All, These are my doubts.
(1) When we checkout the project from svn,a new hidden folder .svn also cmes in to picture.When I opened the folder, I saw these sub folders prop-base, text-base,props, tmp and files namely,dir-prop-base and entries.What is the significance of these subfolders and files and how svn is able to track changes with this hidden folder. I tried googling but couldn't find useful results. (2) Where actually svn keeps the pristine copy..is it in .svn hidden folder? (3) Can we set image file as a property value...But as i tried opening from command prompt (Windows) using propget command...it didn't work..I also tried retreiving value using subclipse also...it din't work...What can be the reason? (4) In subverson 1.7 , every article is talking about next generation working copy...what exactly does it do..please explain such that a new-bie like me can understand.They all are talking about centralized meta-data storage...what does it mean...??..is it a single .svn folder for the whole project instead of one per folder/subfolder..?? (5) While comparing svn and cvs, it is said that branchin & taggin is faster in svn than in cvs...I haven't used cvs...Can u explain vat could be the possible reason...??..svn uses svn copy to branch/tag...bt vat does cvs use??...& why is it slow?
