RE: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
Good point… our just use svnrdump to dump the repo… then you can take that
file, load it into a repo on another machine and then sync that to google.

‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the
repository root.
Assuming that you have access to the entire repository you probably want to
sync from the repository root to an empty repository to have a local backup.
(Look in http://svnbook.red-bean.com for details on how to setup the right

And with a bit less time pressure you can then sync that to google code.

Subject: Re: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the first
(or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also unfortunately, I'm
away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I can't check my command
history or the error message it generated).
As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root of
the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory tree in
which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's supposed to be a
working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming that's correct, my
ultimate goal is to relocate my project, with history, to a new, empty Google
code project (already created and reset)--how should I proceed: should I
continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my existing repository (to
which I'll never again have access after tomorrow), and if so, how do I find my
repository from knowing where a working copy is ('cause, clearly, I've
forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy from its root, and then
check that out to any place else I want to be able to work on it--would such an
upload include the history, and would Google Code recognize it? Please
advise/help!
Thanks,
DG

RE: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
Not sure how we got off list. But, I just used svnsync to move a repo to google code.. it was pretty easy. Just follow the instructions on their wiki page: How do I import an existing Subversion repository? To upload the history of an existing Subversion repository, use the svnsync tool that ships with Subversion 1.4 or later. Run svnsync help to read more about this tool. Note that your Google Code repository must be reset to revision 0https://code.google.com/p/support/source/detail?r=0 for this to work. Your project's Source tab will display instructions on how to reset the repository yourself. (Note: you must be a project owner to reset your own repository, and also to push code up with svnsync.) Here's a sample transcript that demonstrates how you can push history from an existing repository (located at file:///my/repos) to your repository on Google Code: $ svnsync init --username YOURUSERNAME https://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn file:///path/to/localrepos Copied properties for revision 0. $ svnsync sync --username YOURUSERNAME https://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn Committed revision 1. Copied properties for revision 1. Committed revision 2. Copied properties for revision 2. [...] When prompted for your password, use your googlecode.com password, which can be found on the settings tabhttp://code.google.com/hosting/settings of your profile page. Running svnsync on a large repository will take a significant amount of time. If you are disconnected during the process, you may see the error message svnsync: Couldn't get lock on destination repos after 10 attempts. If this happens, you can remove the lock yourself; see the Locks section of svnsync.txthttp://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt.

Yup, that was it: I wasn't trying to sync my repo, I was trying to sync my wc; luckily, I'm cleaning out as much of my stuff as I can find and I found a folder on my C: drive called SVN, and inside that, a folder called Repo--when I used that for file:/// everything worked; of course, now it's uploading the whole 1210 commit history one commit at a time! Ouch...I now see why Bert said w/ a bit little less time pressure.

Is there an (undocumented) command swich I can use to resume where it left off? Is this even the kind of error I might hope to resume where it left off? Thanks! Yes, svnsync should continue from the last revision recorded in the revprops on revision 0 on the target. From your log, that would appear to be revision 821; but I do suggest you verify that it is, and that it's properly recorded in the r0 revprops: svn info mirror-url | grep ^Revision: svn propget --revprop svn:sync-last-merged-rev -r0 mirror-url svn propget --revprop svn:sync-currently-copying -r0 mirror-url svn propget --revprop svn:sync-lock -r0 mirror-url Make sure that the revision reported by svn info and the one in the svn:sync-last-merged-rev property are the same. Depending on the state in which the command failed, you may have to clean up the svn:sync-currently-copying and svn:sync-lock properties. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco // Non-Stop Data e. br...@wandisco.com

Re: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the
first (or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also
unfortunately, I'm away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I
can't check my command history or the error message it generated).
As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root
of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory
tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's
supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming
that's correct, my ultimate goal is to relocate my project, with history,
to a new, empty Google code project (already created and reset)--how should
I proceed: should I continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my
existing repository (to which I'll never again have access after tomorrow),
and if so, how do I find my repository from knowing where a working copy is
('cause, clearly, I've forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy
from its root, and then check that out to any place else I want to be able
to work on it--would such an upload include the history, and would Google
Code recognize it? Please advise/help!
Thanks,
DG

RE: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the
repository root.
Assuming that you have access to the entire repository you probably want to
sync from the repository root to an empty repository to have a local backup.
(Look in http://svnbook.red-bean.com for details on how to setup the right
hooks, etc)
And with a bit less time pressure you can then sync that to google code.
