I find the fact that svn dumps its file copies into the same tree with the source files pretty annoying, since it's no longer possible to grep files, since you get dups, and do other things. Is there a way to configure svn to store its stuff elsewhere?
Nope, but you can use something like the wcgrep script to avoid the problem. You can grab it from the svn source tree in contrib/client-side or directly from the repos at
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/wcgrep
Thanks Garrett, but this is not what I'm after. I don't want the source to be polluted with noise. I don't want to have a special grep script for each new feature someone invents :( Why can't it store the files elsewhere? x?emacs keep temp files, but you can tell it not to store them in the same tree as the source.
As far as I know, you can't store these elsewhere, just like CVS/ directories
Not talking about the fact that now the disk requirements are suddenly at least twice bigger.
That's indeed a side effect. But it allows for a lot of common operations, like svn status & svn diff
to work offline without requiring chit-chat with the server. Also svn revert ;-)
