Re: Query regarding complete backup of a repository with revision history.

According to my knowledge there are 2 ways: 1) We can use svnadmin dump command to create the dump and again reload it by svnadmin load. Yes, this is a good method that many people use. Note that there are several possibilities, from dumping the entire repository, to just dumping selected revisions, and either dumping each revision's contents in its entirety or incrementally using deltas. 2) Or else can I copy the entire repository from the SVN server( located at D:\repositories\OR1221) and save it on other location. And after sometime if I want the repository again then I will place it back to the SVN server. So will it give the same results (i.e with complete revision). Instead of copying the repository manually, you should use svnadmin hotcopy; it will do so in the correct order that will yield a consistent valid repository. A third option is to use svnsync. svnsync and using dump and load will not copy the repository configuration files or hook scripts or preserve locks. I believe a hotcopy will preserve those. You may want to test all three methods to see which is right for you.
Re: Use of kdiff3
I use the svndiffwrapper[1] script to use SVN cli in combination with kdiff3. Save the script to ~/bin/ and make it executable. (And make sure ~/bin is on the path) Then change ~/.subversion/config to include the lines: # diff3-has-program-arg = [true | false] diff-cmd = svndiffwrapper diff3-cmd = svndiffwrapper Then it will use the script to execute kdiff3.

Problem with running minimal_client.c built in Visual C++ 2008 EE
Hi all. I’m trying to build simple client application in Visual C++ 2008 EE. I get code from minimal_client.c, libraries from svn-win32-1.6.6.zip. I set up include path, library path, and in “Additional dependencies” I set up the following: libapr-1.lib libsvn_subr-1.lib libsvn_client-1.lib libsvn_fs-1.lib Also I copy DLL files into Debug and Release folder in my project. Application builds successfully, but when I start it, it crashes. In debug mode I can see that it crashes on calling svn_cmdline_init and in output are the following information: First-chance exception at 0x7c91b21a in SvnTest.exe: 0xC005: Access violation writing location 0x0010. Unhandled exception at 0x7c91b21a in SvnTest.exe: 0xC005: Access violation writing location 0x0010. Thanks in advance for any suggestions what I’m doing wrong. Best regards

I know it can take two or three files, but I'm not sure why (i.e. what's the difference) and which files to feed it with and in what order. Thanks Giulio I've used it from the command line but found I had to fiddle with the file options a bit to get them in the right order for a 3 way diff. I recall having to explicitly set the merge output file but that may be because I messed with the order of files. I also use kdiff3 from Kate as an external tool and bound to shift+F12 so I can diff the current file in a quick and easy way. The following is the script. cd %directory if [ -e .svn/text-base/%filename.svn-base ]; then tmpfile=/tmp/svndiff-$$.tmp svn cat %filename $tmpfile kdiff3 --L1 '%filename base' $tmpfile %filename rm $tmpfile else kdialog --title Error --msgbox The file '%filename' is not in Subversion. fi Not sure if you still need this but for completeness and the list archives. Two files is usually used to compare current changes against the base revision, ie. what have I changed. A three file comparison is for conflict resolution where another developer has committed a newer version of the file than you are working from and will allow you to easily merge the changes in as you can your changes and the other developers changes at the same time. It's better to think of it like this, the left file is the original version of the file before any changes are made. The right file is the updated file in version control and the middle file has your changes but needs to include those from the right. -- __ Sword Ciboodle is the trading name of ciboodle Limited (a company registered in Scotland with registered number SC143434 and whose registered office is at India of Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, UK, PA4 9LH) which is part of the Sword Group of companies.

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) Hi, We use svnsync to keep our DR repositories ready, and the procedure I have to switch to these repositories is something like the following (for each repository): - delete the svn:sync-* revision property for revision 0 - modify the hooks and/or access file to allow read-write access for all normal users - change the DNS for the URL of the production server to point to the DR server Hope this helps Giulio That's true, the UUID must be identical. Svnsync does not do that. I did it when I set up the repository, before even issuing the svnsync init. I just grabbed the UUID from the production repository, then create the DR repository, set it's UUID as the same as the production repository, issue svnsync init and start synchronising. FYI Just found out that from Svn 1.5 on, one can use this command to set the uuid, so that makes it possible to easily switch to a synced repository: svnadmin setuuid
restored deleted data on subversion
Hello, Our subversion (1.4.3-r23084 on windows 2003) was holding around 1.6 TB of data and one user has accidentally deleted a directory of 1 TB. I have done a svn export from the previous version and have the data. Do I have to add and again commit this data ? Will it use up 1 TB of disk space on the svn server ? Is there any way i can restore the data from the previous version without using up 1 TB of disk space ? Thanks in advance. wrodrigues

Re: Use of kdiff3
Mon, 8 Nov 2010 11:52:27 +, /Giulio Troccoli/: Lots of people here use either TortoiseMerge or WinMerge for conflict resolution.

I know it can take two or three files, but I'm not sure why (i.e. what's the difference) and which files to feed it with and in what order. I use KDiff3 to resolve conflicts in conjunction with the command-line svn client on Windows (it works really well), by specifying a batch (shell) script to the 'merge-tool-cmd' option in the config file: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.confarea.html#svn.advanced.confarea.opts.config The script takes care to launch KDiff3 with the appropriate arguments which are made available to this wrapper script in some predefined order.

Subversion will pass four arguments to the merge tool: the BASE revision of the file, the revision of the file received from the server as part of the update, the copy of the file containing your local edits, and the merged copy of the file (which contains conflict markers). If your merge tool is expecting arguments in a different order or format, you'll need to write a wrapper script for Subversion to invoke. -- Stanimir
