Commit to trunk and branch in a single commit

Often I have small changes that apply to a branch and the trunk alike. Of course I cannot do a normal merge because the local change doesn't have a revision number yet. If I copy the change from the branch to the trunk or vice versa and then commit it in one single commit, will it break merge trac

Do svn:externals changes need to be committed to work?

I am trying to add an svn:externals definition to a working copy. I set the property on a directory and ran svn update on that directory, but nothing is fetched. I found this article: http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2008/02/20/svnexternals-for-noobs/ However, from other documentation it's unclear

Data compression between HTTPs client and server

Hi list I am using Subversion with TortoiseSVN over HTTPs. Now that I access my SVN server in Germany from Thailand and displaying logs and getting diffs is horribly slow, I wonder if I can enable any kind of compression? Regards, André

Why doesn't mergeinfo elision occur here?

I would think those two mergeinfos were equivalent, so mergeinfo elision should remove the mergeinfo on "live/templates/c-physignathus". # svn propget svn:mergeinfo live /cm_dev:99-344 /dev:367-578,580 # svn propget svn:mergeinfo live/templates/c-physignathus /cm_dev/templates/c-physignathus:99-3

svnserve daemon mode + SSH

Hi list, can I use svnserve in daemon mode (to take advantage of its authorization mechanisms) and still have the client use an SSH tunnel (probably with different credentials) to connect to it, so I only have to expose the SSH port? I found a post at http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2004-12/1413

Cannot view log while working copy is locked

Hi list, recently I noticed that I cannot view the log while an update of a working copy is running. It's quite annoying. I wonder if it has always been this way or if this is new in 1.7. Isn't "svn log" a completely remote operation without involving the local working copy? Regards, André

Deny read access to a path using authz

Hi list, I am trying to deny a user access to a certain path in an SVN repository. According to the documentation this is done by setting the username to empty like this: [calc:/branches/calc/bug-142/secret] harry = In http://grokbase.com/t/subversion/users/1019eey8h0/problem-implementing-p
