How to create a link that works between OS X and Ubuntu
Hi everyone. I'm developing a program on Ubuntu 10.10. The directory in which my project lives is part of my PATH. The executable that is built is called 'autobot'. I type: ln autobot a a (And my program runs correctly). svn add a svn propset svn:executable ON a svn ci -m "Create shortcut" Now on my OS X box, with the current directory set to the project directory, and with that directory also being a part of PATH (although it is not named identically to the Ubuntu one), I type: svn up a And I get: -bash: /source/Autobot/autobotwiki/a: cannot execute binary file ls -l a gives me: -rwxrwxrwx 1 richard admin 55295 26 Apr 10:33 a The same thing happens if I create the link on OS X and try to run it under Ubuntu. So how do I do this? Richard

Re: How to create a link that works between OS X and Ubuntu
The link count for autobot and a1 will be 2; each name references the same file on disk. The symbolic link, however, is a pointer to a name. You can replace the file autobot without affecting a2, but if you replace autobot (rm autobot; make autobot) you will find that the connection between autobot and a is broken. Aha. Gotcha. Yes, I want a symbolic link then, since my program will be rebuilt over and over. Richard
How to divide my files into two groups
Hi everyone, I am undertaking a massive code review, one side effect of which is that I am creating, deleting, and renaming lots of files. I want some of these files to be marked as "done" and the others to be unmarked. Then, if I want to know what is left to do in my code review, I can identify those files that are not done yet. What's the best way to do this? This is what I'm doing at the moment: svn propset "April_Code_Review" "DONE" file.c Richard
Re: Two-Site Subversion Repository Setup Ideas
I'm intrigued as to how people would answer this. Obviously, if you're only going to sync the repos once per week, you're going to be fundamentally limited by that. Is your solution to use patchfiles? It should be pretty straightforward. svn diff -rxxx:HEAD > patchfile where xxx is the revision number that was last synced.

We have two sites wanting to use Subversion that are performing parallel development of the same software.

Site A is the main site and is responsible for overall configuration control. Is there a way to setup the two subversion repositories to somehow automate keeping the two repositories in sync?

Re: Two-Site Subversion Repository Setup Ideas
Just my two cents... How secure is "secure"? Is it to stop a source code leak like Half-Life 2, where millions of dollars in intellectual property is paraded on the Internet and they are publicly humiliated? Or are they designing software for guided missiles? I think they're going to have to communicate more often than once a week. Set up a trusted staff member to act as courier, who drives back and forth every day. If you're really paranoid, ensure that the CD is encrypted by a method unknown to the courier, by a second staff member who is that staff member least friendly with the courier.

Site A is the main site and is responsible for overall configuration control. If they're security sensitive, sending the working copies back and forth becomes a security nightmare. It also becomes a major performance bottleneck for the remote site, who may really not appreciate being treated as second class citizens.
Re: AW: Two-Site Subversion Repository Setup Ideas
My suggestion ensures that both staff will need to be corrupt in order for the source to leak. Here, there's an armoured car company that does large cash transfers, where every operation requires at least two staff to be present. They say that it's so that if someone attacks one staff member, there's another to back him up, but the real reason is so the staff can watch each other. I can think of many situations where such paranoia is necessary - like I said, even the leakage of Half-Life 2 is a multi-million dollar disaster that any company would gladly pay big money to avoid. I think that your problem is of the type that requires expertise in espionage/data security, more than in subversion itself. No technical solution is going to be able to overcome the problem of infrequent synchronization. Of course, you can do things like grouping certain files as being the domain of site A, and the rest to be the domain of site B, or you could communicate every day by phone to describe the changes without actually publishing them to each other. But I think really, you have to sync more frequently.

Questions
G'day. I'm a noobie trying to program in C. 1. Is svn resolved foo the same as svn resolve --accept working foo ? 2. Someone suggested creating a repository by installing DropBox on every computer and doing: svnadmin create ~/DropBox Does this seem like a workable idea (for those of us who do not know how to set up an svnserver or apache httpd)? 3. Are there any moves to incorporate a keyword such as $GlobalRev$? 4. I've managed to get keyword substitution working. But once it's working, how do I turn it off for that file type? eg Create myfile, containing $Id$ svn add myfile svn propset svn:keywords "Id" myfile svn ci -m "Turn on Id keyword" myfile svn up cat myfile # Id is replaced Now, how do I turn it off?

svn undo

Re: svn undo
Well consider the svn cp subcommand, which does nothing more than delete/add. One day svn cp could do more than that. Likewise, svn undo could initially do nothing more than svn merge (and put a - sign in front of the revision number), but perhaps one day do more.

Instead of compelling us to do 'reverse merges'. What would you expect this new command to do? Would it just run a reverse merge, or would it do more? Would the syntax for this new command differ significantly from the existing merge command? svn merge -c-42 . Would you like to type this instead? svn undo -c42 . If the 'undo' command is just a thin wrapper around 'merge' you might as well provide an 'svnundo' script for users that are uncomfortable with using 'svn merge'. Note that some IDE integrations already provide an 'undo this revision' feature which runs a reverse merge. I believe TortoiseSVN has one, too.

You don't ever use URLs to reference the working copy, so that's a moot point. To shorten the URL when checking out? You've already done 3/4 of the steps here, it would have taken you less time to try it yourself than to send this email. It doesn't work on 1.6.16 on Snow Leopard.

Pretty much everything you can do with subversion will work with a local repository and file:/// references. Do your initial testing/learning that way, then decide what OS platform you want for your server. I'd recommend a linux distribution where it would be included in the standard system and updates, but that's a matter of preference.

Virtual filesystems
Hi, everyone. In a URL such as: file:///one/two/three/four It may be that the repository is actually at /one/two, and the three/four are directories within the repository. How does subversion identify which slashes are virtual and which ones are real? Does it search each part of the path to see if it's a valid repository, and then step into it? Is there a way, or a need, to ever tell svn which part of the URL is real and which is virtual? Richard

This is one of those cases where I really disagree with this dangerous model. Expecting on the fly translation, by the source control system, of the format of the files leads to very confusing and awkward results, for which I've listed examples. Like expecting the document viewer to automatically translate date formats of enclosed documents, it can get *extremely* confusing. >> I'm afraid I've had real adventures when someone insisted on working >> with TortoiseSVN with "svn:eol" set to "native", and thenm trying to >> build perl scripts and Java source code on both Windows and Linux >> systems in the same home directory.

I respectfull y disagreee, with the messed up scars to match. A source repository should be just that, a source repository. The checked out source code that *appears* to work with both the text-based CygWin client or a Linux client, and a Windows client, fails not becuase the compilers or scripting languages can't handle the code, but because the "svn:eol" has switched the content of the file at checkout time, and the other client has no way to detect that it needs to be switched back on upload. So a file that you check out in Windows, using "svn:eol native", will be seen by a CygWin or Linux client as having its EOL modified and will be reported as altered and potentially committed with the line ending changes. Chaos ensues, even round-robin cases where ^H gets added cyclically to the same files on every automated checkin of a build procedure. (Welcome to Java code that is supposed to be "cross-platform" and automated build procedures with "Cruise Control" software. Been there, done that , had to replace the repo and put in pre-commit hooks to block the use of svn:eol.

If you are doing cross-platform work, you generally need to use native for text files or you will have to script your own conversions. But, never mix this with any other way of getting files between platforms, like moving a working copy on a usb drive between windows and linux, dual-booting with access to a common drive, or sharing a network-mounted copy. And the cygwin port of svn may think that unix style text is native even though it is on windows (I think that's an option somewhere deep inside of cygwin but I've forgotten - the point of cygwin is to make windows look like unix, so it might even make sense). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com

Good work, thanks. Needless to say, I really hope I don't screw up the book repository and if I do, just block or revert me as necessary until I learn what I've done wrong.

You've got your URLs switched in the 'svnsync init' command. svnsync thinks you're trying to copy data from your local repository to the public svnbook project repository.

Difference between pre-commit and start-commit
Hi, folks, I apologize in advance for not being able to figure this out. What exactly is the difference between the pre-commit hook and the start-commit hook? Also, am I right in thinking that all I have to do to "install" such a hook is to write a script, or modify the existing template, and then rename it as the same name without the ".tmpl"? (Or on Windows, add ".bat" or ".exe") Richard
Possible issue: Out of date output from svn help remove
Hello. I believe that the output of svn help remove on my machine is out of date. It says that each item is scheduled for deletion. But this has been changed over the years as subversion has evolved. Now, the item is deleted right away. I'm not able to build svn on my current machine so I'm unable to see whether this problem exists in the latest version. Here is my terminal log: richard@richard-iMac:~$ svn help remove delete (del, remove, rm): Remove files and directories from version control. usage: 1. delete PATH... 2. delete URL... 1. Each item specified by a PATH is scheduled for deletion upon the next commit. Files, and directories that have not been committed, are immediately removed from the working copy unless the --keep-local option is given. PATHs that are, or contain, unversioned or modified items will not be removed unless the --force or --keep-local option is given. [...] Richard
