What is the best client with GUI for svn?

2010-11-06 Thread San Martino
Hello,

what is the most stable client with GUI for svn for use in a
production environment from an user point of view (non-admin)?

The features it should provide are , in  order of priority:
- stability
- coverage for all the most important (sub)commands of the default svn
client commands for the user
- compatibility with Windows (with other systems is a surplus)
- multi-language
- if possible, web interface to be used from within firefox or explorer


Re: Promoting a mirror repository as a source repository

2010-11-06 Thread Andrey Repin
Greetings, Gingko!

 I have a (now theoretical) question :

 Suppose I have a repository that is a mirror repository of a remote 
 source
 repository, regularly synced using svnsync.

 Suppose now that the source repository become broken or deleted for any
 reason (server breakdown, fire, etc)
 So the only available copy of the repository is now the synced mirror
 repository.

 How could I promote my mirror repository in order to have it becoming the
 new source repository on the mirror server or on another server ?

 (I think that just using the mirror repository without change is not 
 enough
 as it contains somewhere inside it information about the old source
 repository, given at the beginning by svnsync initialize, which would
 certainly need to be removed)

 svn help switch
 http://svnbook.org/

 Thank you very much for your answer, but I'm sorry, this is not an answer to 
 my question.

 svn switch is about changing URLs in working copies, I know how to do this 
 (actually I made several of these changes today).

I gave you both answers. If you are too lazy to pick them, sorry, it's not my
problem.

 But what I want to know is what I have to do on the REPOSITORY side.

Most generalized answer: nothing. Details depends on your exact setup.

Most stable GUI client is a commandline tool.
To clarify: your question is just ridiculous, both in form and by meaning.
For different projects, for different tools used by actual laborers involved,
many answers will be equally true.
Just to give you an example: we were working on the same PHP project.
I'm using FAR manager, and commandline svn client is best for me. Other person
was using Eclipse and it's integrated Subversion capabilities to the same
extent. There's not even a slight chance either of us would be using something
else, that would drastically reduce performance for one of us, or both.

TortoiseSVN is the best, hands-down. There are others that are more
integrated to particuler development environments, but for a general
tool, TortoiseSVN is as fast as Subversion gets, comfortable to use,
and has a good overall interface. I wish Linux GUI's were this good.

Re: svnsync checksum error

 Today, the sync process started failing on 1 repo (all others were
 unaffected) on both r/o copies at the exact same time/same revision
 with errors similar to the following...

 Transmitting file data .svnsync: Base checksum mismatch on
 '/path/to/file/foo/bar':

 I recently had the same problem.  I never found any cause for it, but I did 
 manage to deal with it somewhat better than you did.  On the master, I did 
 svnadmin hotcopy, then I tarred up the backup and sent it to the slave, and 
 extracted it.  I had to configure the slave hook scripts, and the revprop rev 
 0 properties, and then I was able to svnsync to the slave again.  The main 
 point of difference ... No need to wait for 65k commits to transfer.  Since 
 it's starting from a recent backup, it's enormously faster.
 


Yes, that sounds  quite a bit easier/quicker.  I didn't realise the r/o copies 
maintained by svnsync were that similar to the
r/w copies they get their data from.  Thank you for the information.

I've found a handful of other cases similar to ours. Do you think a bug report 
is warranted or is this unique to our
configurations?


kind regards,

OSG



Re: Only two Windows binary distribution support SASL encryption?

 When I have tested the CollabNet binaries in the past they
 supported this fine.  The Cyrus SASL stuff requires registry
 entries to work properly.  If you are trying all of these
 from the same workstation are  you checking those entries?
 
OK. Now that you reminded me, I went and put the registry entry
in. I had forgotten that the client required it since installing
1.5. I had to reinstall Windows on my workstation a while back,
and haven't used the command line client since then.
  
With the registry entry in the proper place, the Win32Svn works
as well. Slik at least doesn't seem to even check for it,
apparently just using the directory the binary is in.
  
Perhaps this should be noted in the Book somewhere, that the
SearchPath entry may need to be on the clients, as well? Also, on
x64 versions of windows, a 32-bit client needs the entry under
 Wow6432Node.
