Hi all, This is going to be a long post and actually a repost of what I asked in Debian forum few days ago. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=58799 but got no answer.
This is from svn version 1.6.12 . <quote> Hi all, I am no programmer, just a user who sometimes downloads svn snapshots or trunk builds and compiles them. My subversion skills are hence extremely poor and hence need the forum expertise to know. Few questions below :- a. Is there a way in subversion when you are downloading some new project progress as in megabytes downloaded etc. An excerpt so it will make clear what I am asking :- $ svn co https://pagesofadventur.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pagesofadventur pagesofadventur A pagesofadventur/trunk A pagesofadventur/trunk/.classpath A pagesofadventur/trunk/COMPILING A pagesofadventur/trunk/compile.sh A pagesofadventur/trunk/LICENSE A pagesofadventur/trunk/.project A pagesofadventur/trunk/lib A pagesofadventur/trunk/lib/libopenal64.so This is just an small FOSS game coming up which I checked out recently and its just an excerpt of the whole svn release. What I want to know is can something be added to the command so it gives something like this :- A pagesofadventur/trunk ------ downloaded 5 KB A pagesofadventur/trunk/.classpath ...... downloaded 15 KB A pagesofadventur/trunk/COMPILING ...... downloaded 25 KB Something that will either give the total bandwidth being consumed (total size of the directory being downloaded in real-time or the size of the file in real-time) either of them will be good. As of right now I don't see or know how much data is being downloaded. a1. Also is there some sort of progress meter or something which can be used ? Something like we get in wget ? b. At the moment, svn info gives very sparse information. I get something like this only :- $ svn info Path: . URL: https://pagesofadventur.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pagesofadventur/trunk Repository Root: https://pagesofadventur.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pagesofadventur Repository UUID: 61f2b476-27aa-424f-a2cb-73af79cd3606 Revision: 38 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: edwardlii Last Changed Rev: 38 Last Changed Date: 2010-12-28 22:34:51 +0530 (Tue, 28 Dec 2010) Now I know that whenever people make a changeset or do a svn push, they usually comment the update/release whatever. How can I access whatever comment the author has made ? </quote> Looking forward for answers to the above. Also is it just possible just to kinda browse/look in/get messages of the newest svn commits and not the actual code ? I'm asking as I'm in a constrained bandwidth environment and have to pick and choose when I can pull svn commits. It would be handy to just get and read through the commit messages and decide when to pull them. Looking forward for answers. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17
