Thanks! though Daniel mentions it already in the first third of his first sentence, I wanted to point out the most likely reason more explicitly: Because --limit relates to overall repository revisions, not path relates revisions: You first example looks exactly for the HEAD revision of the repository.

Unfortunately, that will add a lot of complexity for the >100's of files that will need to reside under ^/trunk/new_project. svn copy sounds like the way to go. Your concern regarding complecety: is this about the clutter the many separate copies will create in the log?

how to determine files missing certain propertiers?
Hi all, I'm trying to find files missing certain properties either locally in a WC, or remotely in a repository. I've experimented with scripting 'svn list' and 'svn propget' but that didn't work out because of my missunderstanding of what this commands really do (see threads "discrepancies between 'svn -R list' and 'svn -R propget'" and "svn --recursive and externals").

That even makes sense 8-) because it's always the repositry contents that is listed (as 'svn help list' tells in the first sentence) That also means 'svn list' won't show locally added files, but still list locally deleted files. 'svn propget' on the other hand returns paths relative to the CWD in case of a local path, or in case of an URL the complete URL. And it's showing local information in case of a local path, but repository information in case of an URL. I think 'svn help propget/list' should make that clear. All in all, there goes my idea of how to determine files missing certain properties. I'll open a new thread for that then. -- Lorenz

discrepancies between 'svn -R list' and 'svn -R propget' (on windows using TSVN build command line client)
Hi all, navigating to a working copy folder (or a subfolder thereof) and issuing 'svn -R list path/sub' or 'svn -R list path\sub' results in: file1 subsub/file2 ... whereas 'svn -R pg svn:keywords path/sub' or 'svn -R pg svn:keywords path\sub' results in: sub\file1 - Id URL sub\subsub\file2 - Id URL ... There are two discrepancies the first of which looks like it is not windos depended: 'svn propget' always lists the 'sub' part of the path, 'svn list' does not. is this the same under linux, and if so is it intended behaviour? The second one is windows dependent (maybe even TSVN specific): 'svn list' uses '/' whereas 'svn pg' uses '\' do all native windows clients behave this way or is this with the TSVN client only?

there are no individual timestamps on files in the repository, only
one timestamp on the revision as a whole.
If you are talking about the timestamp of the commit / tag though ...
That can easyly be changed to match the tag source using svn propset
svn:date --revprop -r tagrevision date repopath.
Be aware that the svn -r {date} ... syntax will no longer work
properly if you do so (because it relies on the revision timestamps to
be ordered).
And you will need a pre-revprop-change hook to allows revprop changes.

After reorganizing the directory structure of our shared libraries, I see that all tagged versions now gives an error.

We have hundreds of tagged versions, and inside these there are two-three different external references.

For example the trunk consists of this: trunk/ rev333 rev331 rev330 rev229 rev228 I want to create a tag based on rev333 and rev330 but not rev 331 since that code is not finished yet. at first glance I would interpret this diagram as rev### being subfolders of trunc, but that is not consistent with the rest of the text.

Re: How to access local svnserve repository in Windows

Re: Setting auto-props from Server side ?
Ravi Roy wrote: Just curious if there is a way out to set auto-props for certain binary files on server side ? I know, it is can be set on Client like TortoiseSVN. auto-props are a client side configuration that's shared by all subversion clients (TSVN only provides a GUI for that task). You could put the relevant config file under version control though. That won't give automatic propagation of changes, but at least you only have to do an update on the client to get the actual settings (no manual fiddeling in config files) -- Lorenz

Really? From my testing, it seemed that SVN doesn't descend into externals during a commit, regardless of whether the external points to the same or a different repository. Have you seen different behaviour? yes and no 8-) The command line client does not decend into externals, but you can list the external folders additionally to get an atomic commit, and I'm using TSVN as my main client, which lists externals from the same repository in the commit dialog, selected for commit by default. -- Lorenz
Re: Recursive setting of versioned properties using URL using propedit or svnmucc
Bettual Richter wrote: I'm trying to write a skript to set versioned properties after been triggered by a hook but I seem to get stuck finding a solution and hope someone here is able to help me or point out if it's not possible. I'd like to set a property for every file in a certain directory(recursivly) using an url. Something like svn propedit -R PROPNAME PROPVAL URL I think you meant propset but anyhow svn prop* for versioned properties only work in on a working copy. the remote version only works for revision properties or svnmucc propset PROPNAME PROPVAL -R URL svnmucc has no -R option. My problem is that propedit doesn't support recursivly setting of properties and svnmucc gives an error( 'file already exists') when been used on a file. I'd also be glad if someone had a link to a kind of documentation for svnmucc which I haven't been able to find till now because I would like to avoid raising the revision number for each file/dir. you either need to checkout to a temporary working copy apply the properties and commit, or generate a file containing one 'propset PROPNAME VAL URL' command per line for each file/folder you want to modify. Then call svnmucc with '--extra-args FILENAME' -- Lorenz
