Subversion
Some initial notes on using subversion. Not complete.
remote checkout:
> cd /home/micah/working
> svn checkout svn+ssh://ibis.riseup.net/var/lib/svn/bamboo bamboo
remote checkout, specifying the user:
otheruser> cd /home/otheruser/working
otheruser> svn checkout svn+ssh://micah@ibis.riseup.net/var/lib/svn/bamboo bamboo
local checkout:
svn checkout file:///var/lib/svn/tickquito tickquito
creating a new repository:
svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/repository
chown -R :src /var/lib/svn/repository
chmod -R g+wrs /var/lib/svn/repository
moving a repository
lets say you want to move a repostory from one server to another:
on first server:
svnadmin dump repository > repository.dump
on second server:
mkdir /var/lib/svn/riseup
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/lib/svn/riseup/<repository>
svnadmin load /var/lib/svn/riseup/repository < repository.dump
chown -R root:src /var/lib/svn/riseup
chmod -R g+rws /var/lib/svn/riseup
finally, each person who has the repository checked out:
cd <repository>
svn switch --relocate <url-from> <url-to>
for example:
svn switch --relocate svn+ssh://ibis.riseup.net/var/lib/svn/myproject svn+ssh://macaw.riseup.net/var/lib/svn/riseup/myproject
Fixing corrupt repository databases
On the repository server:
# svnadmin recover /var/lib/svn/<repository>
# chmod -R g+ws /var/lib/svn/<repository>
# chown -R :staff /var/lib/svn/<repository>
The group might be different depending on the access that should be given to the repository.
converting a repository from BDB to FSFS
Lets say you keep getting database corruption errors and are sick of it. Lets say you read svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/fsfs and decided that FSFS was a better backend storage mechanism than BDB so you wanted to switch to it. This is how you do it:
# svnadmin dump /var/lib/svn/<repository> > /tmp/<repository>.dump
# rm -rf /var/lib/svn/<repository>
# svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/lib/svn/<repository>
# svnadmin load /var/lib/svn/<repository> < /tmp/<repository>.dump
# chown -R :staff /var/lib/svn/<repository>
# chmod -R g+ws /var/lib/svn/<repository>
