Re: Using using _svn when creating folders in repository
It is a client-side configurable option, which is why Versions wouldn't know to use _svn instead. TortoiseSVN can be configured to use either, but it is system-wide, not working-copy specific. I'd vote for this feature to be added as a simple preference setting in Versions for the exact reason that someone already mentioned -- old versions of Visual Studio don't like dotted folders. I currently have to have two separate working copies checked out to work around this. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Versions group.

Re: Using using _svn when creating folders in repository
We have some old clients that are using projects built in Visual Studio 2002, and it has some kind of problem with the .svn folder, so we switched to _svn. Even though it is set from the SVN server, Versions was still creating the folder as .svn rather than _svn. For the time being, I am using Tortoise on a Windows VM to create the folders in th repository.

Re: Using using _svn when creating folders in repository
Glad to hear there's at least a good reason for making the attempt. :-) I wasn't aware that one could set the folder name on the server. IIRC, though, the .svn (or _svn) folders don't actually exist in the repository, only in the working copy. I believe that Versions uses the same Subversion libraries as everyone else (libsvn_client and libsvn_wc) for dealing with local copies. Are you using TortoiseSVN to *check out*, or to create the folders in the repository in the strict sense? If TortoiseSVN does The Right Thing™ on checkout, then IMO this constitutes a bug in Versions. Also, once you have a working copy, does Versions recognize the _svn directories? (In other words, it the problem only with creation, or does it continue when accessing your working copy?) When reporting it, please clarify where the _svn behavior is specified (e.g. in the actual repository config, or in the client app) and try to provide examples. Good luck, - Quinn On Jan 28, 2009, at 6:33 AM, Jeremy Flint wrote: We have some old clients that are using projects built in Visual Studio 2002, and it has some kind of problem with the .svn folder, so we switched to _svn.

Re: Using using _svn when creating folders in repository
You would need to do this within svn itself, and I think it's unlikely that you'd be able to configure that, as it's probably hardcoded into it. svn is opensource though, so you could probably roll your own version... -Ray --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Versions group.
