restoring a working copy from backup: can the pristine directory be recreated?
Hello! If I backup a working copy, the .svn folder and especially the pristine directory there, where subversion stores the base version of each file, takes lots of space. I used to exclude the .svn directory from this backup, but now I had to restore my hard drive with all its working data and found it annoying to have to recreate every working copy. If subversion could retrieve a broken or missing pristine file, which it can't now in tortoise SVN 1.7.11, it would be sufficient to backup the files in the .svn directory, which would save almost half the space. Is there any way to repair/refresh a pristine directory in subversion? Or is a fresh checkout the only option? With best regards Hartmut
Re: svn merge --record-only reports extraneous paths

However, when running an 'svn merge -c --record-only', I get a far greater set of paths *reported* as updated, but they actually aren't. The paths that are report actually do have their own 'svn:mergeinfo' properties, but they don't get changes by the merge command (which I expected). I think the paths either need to be updated, or not displays. Using: svn 1.7.7 This is a known issue. The new behaviour described at http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html#subtree-mergeinfo-recording wasn't implemented for record-only merges. Record-only merges still update all subtree mergeinfo within the merge target. I don't know why record-only merges behave differently, and I've tried but cannot find a reference that explains this. Perhaps the new behaviour is too difficult to implement for record-only merges, or maybe this difference exists on purpose.

You could just do a fresh checkout and then untar your backup onto that sandbox. HOWEVER: You need to checkout the revision that was current when the backup was made, and not a later that has committed changes to the files in the sandbox. You'd undo those by unpacking the tar file. Andreas -- Totally trivial. Famous last words. From: Linus Torvalds torvalds@*.org Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:29:21 -0800

Working copies can be mixed-revision, which makes this approach very fragile. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.mixedrevs You'd have to save the output of svn info -R as well and recreate the mixed-revision working copy before copying files from backup. I would recommend to *commit* the working copy to a temporary branch instead of backing it up. And worrying about backing up the repository, not working copies. Backup (if you have time to fix potential conflicts): svn co https://svn.example.com/svn/trunk cd trunk # make changes, realise you need to stash changes svn cp ^/trunk ^/branches/my-stash # create a single-rev copy of trunk svn sw ^/branches/my-stash # switch working copy to stash branch # fix conflicts from incoming changes, if any svn commit Backup (if you don't have time to fix potential conflicts): svn co https://svn.example.com/svn/trunk cd trunk # make changes, realise you need to stash changes svn cp . ^/branches/my-stash # maybe commits a mixed-rev working copy # but that is ok, we fix conflicts later Restore: svn co https://svn.example.com/svn/my-stash cd my-stash svn merge ^/trunk # fix conflicts svn commit svn co https://svn.example.com/svn/trunk cd trunk svn merge --reintegrate ^/branches/my-stash # fix conflicts svn commit You could probably omit the first block of commands, and try the reintegrate merge right away.

RE: SvnServe with Windows AD Authendication
Hi, I'm not a Windows guy and am not familiar with the services that Windows 2003 Server provides. Could you explain in more detail in what ways you want Subversion to integrate with it? Right now we are using svn internal authentication( passwd and svnserve.conf) Instead Of we are plan to use windows Active directory account for SVN. If you use SVN Edge it is very easy to use your windows domain logins with it. You just need to know your active directory server, OU names and such. We have ours set up this way.

Please guide me to migrate my current setup into what you have. I have not known (or read about) anyone to get Active Directory working with svnserver. Supposedly it is possible... so someone else would have to help you. If you move to edge you would be using Apache and would be changing to the http:// protocol. So, your URL would change, but your clients can use a simple switch command to modify the URL of their existing working copies, we did the same thing. The main reason I moved to SVN Edge was to be able to use Active Directory (windows domain) logins so I wouldn't have to manage passwords. Now I just need to add/remove people from an Active Directory group that IT made me the admin of. Also, moving to edge would be an easy way to upgrade to 1.7.x, since that is the latest and greatest. You also should be able to set up SVN Edge without taking down your svnserve instance. Once you are satisfied that it is up and running and everything is working you can notify your users that they need to switch to the new url, and then you can stop the svnserve service.
