Re: swapping the trunk and a branch
On Wednesday 07 July 2010, Cory Riddell wrote: My problem is that merges have been very problematic for me. They consistently fail due to running out of memory. I downloaded the 64-bit client tools from SlikSVN and they will work if it is the only thing running. My machine is a 4 core machine with 4 GB of RAM and a 6 GB swap file (64-bit Windows 7). The merge takes a long time to complete and uses up almost all of the physical + virtual space. My svn client is version 1.6.12 (64-bit) and the server is 1.6.6 (32-bit). The project has something like 2000 files. I'm using TortoiseSVN here, on a dual-core machine with 1GiB of RAM, and I can perform merges on a similar-sized project without problems. It's not lightning fast, but I can still use other programs while the merge runs. The repository is served via svnserve in the LAN and hosted on a Debian/Linux machine. Of course, the complexity (i.e. memory and time) for a merge operation increases with the number of revisions and the number of files, but a mere VS upgrade should only touch projectfiles and maybe a few sourcefiles, all of which are easy to merge and not too large. That said, what we have here is sourcecode that compiles in parallel on VC6, VC7.1, VC8 and eVC4. All you have to take care of is that the directories for output and intermediate files (OutDir and IntDir) have an according tag so that they don't interfere with each other. That's completely off-topic for this list though Cheers!

Accepting SSL certificates
I am trying to set Subversion to use https. I have already acquired a certificate from the company CA and set everything up in Apache. If if use https the I am asked to accept that the certificate comes from a trusted authority. If I accept it everything works. So, I have been instructed to download the company certificate and I'm trying to set it as a trusted CA. I have added the following to ~/.subversion/servers ssl-authority-files = /home/svn/LDS.crt It's not .pem, but I have been told that it is PEM-encoded. However, if I try with https I get the following error svn: Invalid config: unable to load certificate file '/home/svn/LDS.crt' I thought it was a permission issue but the file was readable by everyone, and the user who runs Apache is svn as well so Apache (if involved at all) can read it too. The server is CentOS 5, SVN is 1.6.9 and Apache is 2.2.13. Finally, I know I could accept it permanently but eventually I want to set the ssl-authority-files parameter on the system-wide subversion configuration so that all users automatically accept it.

clients not supporting http?
Hi All, I recently set up svn over http for a project I'm involved with. One user made the following complaints: (1) Some svn clients do not support the http protocol. This is a common occurrence when a user builds svn from source. Because the svn transport svn:// is the standard, internal transport for svn, every svn client should support it. (2) When i attempted to download a single-file, svn complained that the file name was not a directory name and rejected the request. Is this true, that some svn clients do not support http? This seems unlikely to me. And I found no examples when I searched google. I believe this user is on a Solaris machine. Also, should he be having trouble downloading a single file? I can address this second issue with him - I primarily wanted to get the list's input on the first question. Thanks very much, Jason Aubrey

RE: Slow merging of selected revisions
From: emerson [mailto:echofloripa.y...@gmail.com] Even dry-run sometimes takes more than 30 minutes to process one single file. We are using the svn merge http://[repo] -c 333 command syntax. Our server is 1.4.4, and we are using 1.6.x clients. I believe we found the root cause of this problem. Please see this thread: (start) http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0040.shtml (middle) http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0101.shtml (end) http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-07/0122.shtml The solution seems to be: Upgrade your server to 1.6. Upgrade your clients to 1.6. and Even though they say you shouldn't need this, dump load your repo to upgrade it to 1.6. If you don't do this, the old revs which are slow in your repo will always remain slow. Moving forward, eventually you'll stop seeing the problem on a regular basis, as you begin using more and more consistently, just revs which were committed with 1.6. But the commit algorithm doesn't always diff against rev n-1, sometimes it diffs against rev n/2, which means ... Unless you do the dump load, the problem will never entirely go away. The dump load will take a really long time. Because it will systematically step on every single one of the bad revs.

Compiling Subversion just fine on legacy operating systems is painful, inlcluding RHEL 4 (which contained httpd-2.0.63). The dependencies on more recent versions of Python, neon, and SQlite are awkward to mange. If possible, update to RHEL 5 or CentOS 5 and grab the RPMforge release of subversion-1.6.12. You'll save yourself a lot of pain: I found backporting to RHEL 4 to be a big problem and gave it up as too tough to provide a completely workable install, especially for x86_64, years ago.

You can't check out a single file, You can download it with the export command, or a simple wget. Is this true, that some svn clients do not support http? This seems unlikely to me. And I found no examples when I searched google. I believe this user is on a Solaris machine. Also, should he be having trouble downloading a single file? I can address this second issue with him - I primarily wanted to get the list's input on the first question. Thanks very much, Jason Aubrey He's probably trying to check it out, not download it. Checkouts create that .svn subdirectory, with its attached information about the other contents of the directory.

Re: 'File not found' error during svnsync
I tried the patch but unfortunately is not working for me. I'll try to reproduce the error in a smaller repository. What I don't understand is if the problematic revision is the 1306 or 1307. The error message reefers to 1306 but I can see in the logs of the synced repository that the 1306 revision seems to be already imported. On the other hand, the revision 1307 is a large merge that looks much more suspicious to me. Is the revision number displayed during the sync zero based? Or is the synced repository in an inconsistent state?

I found a similar issue in the bug database (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3641) but I cannot see the reason described there matches with my case. What I can see as suspicious is that in the problematic revision a branch is created with the same name as an old branch that was deleted in a previous changeset. The patch I posted to #3641 handles the case of replaces (i.e., a remove and an add-with-history of a path in the same revision). This same name as an old branch issue, therefore, rings a bell... Can you try that patch? Alternatively, it would probably be helpful if you could come up with a smaller reproduction repository (i.e., one that uses fewer than 1300 revisions, and modifies few files in each revision). Can you narrow the problem down? I'm currently using Subversion 1.6.5 (r38866) with Mac OSX 10.6.4. Any hint will be appreciated, even a workaround to this problem. Thanks, - Juan

In loose terms, WebLogic is a J2EE application server for running java applications and is completely independent from version control systems such as Subversion. Do you in what way the two would interact as there are a few possible combinations? Are you meaning you want to host a Subversion repository (via http?) running at the same time as WebLogic or from WebLogic? Or do you want to access a repository from an application installed in Weblogic? Or are you putting some of welogics files under version control? oh, just thought of another possibility, Weblogic might come with a development environment which if it hasn't changed from 10 is based upon Eclipse. If you are meaning that then no, there won't be any gotchas but you will need to install a compatible plugin if you wish to use subversion from within the Eclipse tooling.

Re: swapping the trunk and a branch
On 7/8/2010 3:59 AM, Ulrich Eckhardt wrote: Of course, the complexity (i.e. memory and time) for a merge operation increases with the number of revisions and the number of files, but a mere VS upgrade should only touch projectfiles and maybe a few sourcefiles, all of which are easy to merge and not too large. The repository has history going back more than 10 years. Lots of revisions. The VS upgrade really didn't alter the contents of very many files. I'm thinking the problem is coming from merging trunk-branch. This seems to touch the properties of every single file in the repository and I'm speculating that's what is eating up 8 GB of memory. If I understand this correctly, subversion is adding metadata so it knows what revisions to merge next time I push changes from my trunk to branch. That said, what we have here is sourcecode that compiles in parallel on VC6, VC7.1, VC8 and eVC4. All you have to take care of is that the directories for output and intermediate files (OutDir and IntDir) have an according tag so that they don't interfere with each other. That's completely off-topic for this list though... It's offtopic, but still interesting to me. If I had to maintain multiple versions of the project files, I would probably start looking at something like CMake to generate the project and solution files. Without that, it seems very error prone to have to remember to update each version of the project file with every change. My other problem is that our project relies on a rather large third party library. We have the include and lib files as a subproject living under the solution dir. I don't want the merge to recurse into this one directory: + Main Solution Dir - sub project 1 - sub project 2 - 3rd party project I've thought about moving the 3rd party project directory to a different place in the repository and using an external directive, but I'm really trying to avoid using them. They're evil, right? The other fix I've thought about is having multiple 3rd party projects. + Main Solution Dir - sub project 1 - sub project 2 - 3rd party project VS2008 - 3rd party project VS2010 Cory

Re: AW: merging executable binaries
The short explanation for the wrong rev number is that you have to add 840074 to it first. The long explanation can be found at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/README. Issue 3475 appears to have been for svn patch rather than svn merge, but it's more or less the same problem. It looks like this is the diff that fixed the issue for svn patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c?r1=879495r2=879496pathrev=879496 Something similar would probably fix the problem for svn merge as well.

This is well within acceptable ranges for performance in my mind.
@Les: tags/branches don't work in this case because an edit on this can
change the tag/branch and because the merge of local edits + local
version changes becomes cumbersome (if not impossible) on the svn switch
to the branch/tag. Perforce style tagging does work, svn does not since
it's a branch unfortunately. We did consider this option.
Thanks Daniel!

Declare branches to be equal?
I've got a repository that saw moderate use for several years, then the project reached a stable point. I upgraded SVN as I went along, however on my primary dev system I've been stuck with a 1.4 client (CentOS 4). Recently, I've switched to a different system for further development on this project, made a number of commits to bring /trunk and /branches/stable into sync, and done further development on /trunk. I'd like to merge my changes from /trunk now, but I'd also like to make use of the merge tracking features that have been added since SVN 1.4. Is there a way to do svn merge --record-only that will result in /trunk and /branches/stable being considered equivalent and/or fully merged as of a given revision? Historically, some changes have been made first on /trunk, then merged to /branches/stable (mostly new development); others have been made the other way around (bugfixes). :/ I'd like to avoid walking back over the log to explicitly run svn merge --record-only rA:B source dest for each of these historical merges. -kgd

You can use 'svn cat' or 'svn export' or 'svn co --depth empty' to get a single file. Next time please explain your problem in more details (ideally including shell session transcripts).

Because the svn transport svn:// is the standard, internal transport for svn, every svn client should support it. Yup: if you don't have the HTTPD or Apache include files installed, known as the httpd-devel package under RPM based Linux distributions like RedHat and Fedora, you can't build the relevant software because you lack the compilation tools. The ./configure script detects this and disables the relevant features. Are you certain about that? Neon or serf provide the client with http support and are both in the subversion-deps source tarball. I'm fairly sure all the machines I've compiled on have never had the httpd-devel like packages installed (or in some cases any dev packages beyond the compiler). https support can be tricky as this will require either the openssl dev package to be installed or a local build handy. You seem to be correct. It's the neon *include* files, not merely the libraries, that are needed to compile some of this behavior in standard Fedora and RHEL setups. I've not tried it with serf. As pointed out elsewhere, it's mod_dav_svn that needs httpd related utilities. Mind you, picking and choosing bits to leave out of a Subversion setup is like picking the wrench you won't need in your toolbox. If you're squeezed for space, leave one out, but it's inevitably the one you didn't bring that you turn out to need

As we have two protocoles, svn and http, available for subversion, I'd like to know if there's any performance comparison study on both of them to let us choose the most appropriate one. Anyone has any related article on that? TIA Perhaps try a google search? http://www.google.com.au/search?q=svn+vs+httpie=utf-8oe=utf-8aq=t Most of the links are useless, discussing other subject, addressing far too old of releases, or not doing a straight comparison. A local comparison is often best, especially when operating over HTTPS or svn+ssh for security reasons: Because of the continuing storage of HTTP/HTTPS/svn/SSH passwords in clear-text by the UNIX or Linux versions of Subversion, I don't trust anything but the svn+ssh public key based access for public use. Unfortunately, this does cause a noticeable performance hit. Performance can also be dominated by the size of the repository, and the use of chatty file storage technologies such as CIFS, which can seriously slow the checkout of bulky working copies with lots of files. (I've run into this recently: what took 2.5 minutes to NFS shares took 25 minutes to CIFS shares. It was embarassing!)

[chop] I feel a little like a broken record, but... using GSSAPI (or Negotiate for HTTPS) substantially reduces the security issues by integrating authentication into the rest of a managed single-sign-on system. GSSAPI/Negotiate also has the feature of working in all four remote access protocols for Subversion. The downside is difficulty in configuration and poor support in some (or many or perhaps all) binary distributions of Subversion. I have to admit, I don't think very highly of ssh public-key authentication; I have a hard time believing very many users or administrators carefully protect, rotate, and revoke RSA keys in a timely manner, which seems to me to substantially reduce the security of ssh public-key infrastructure. -- alec.kl...@oracle.com Oracle Middleware The views expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Oracle PGP key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0xEBD1FF14 pgpNbYROMon9k.pgp Description: PGP signature

One user made the following complaints: (1) Some svn clients do not support the http protocol. This is a common occurrence when a user builds svn from source. Yes and no. Almost every binary available supports the HTTP protocol. I would even go so far as to say they all do, but somewhere is an obscure client (maybe for some Thuderbird Basic OS system) that doesn't. A much more likely occurrence is that someone builds their own binary and doesn't have the neon and APR libraries needed for building with the HTTP protocol. That binary would not support HTTP. However, you can get pre-build binaries for almost every single OS you can name. There should be no reason why a developer needs to build their own. Your developer can go to http://www.sunfreeware.com to get a Subversion client that uses the HTTP protocol for his Solaris machine. (2) When i attempted to download a single-file, svn complained that the file name was not a directory name and rejected the request. Subversion only allows you to check out directories. You can use the svn cat command to get single files, but if you're doing a checkout, you need to checkout a directory. NOTE: You can use the --depth=empty switch to checkout a directory with no files in it, then do an svn update fileName to get the single file you want. I discourage developers from doing this because what they're doing is making a change without any testing. That is a no-no. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
