Random SubVersion notes.

!!! Status Characters

<?plugin OldStyleTable
|*Char*|*Meaning*
|U|Updated your (unmodified?) copy to the latest version
|C|Conflict while updating
|M|Modified - your local version has changes that aren't in the latest version
|G|Merged - your modified version had patches applied from the latest version
?>

!!! Flagging a file as executable

 <pre>
 svn propset svn:executable on ''filename''
 </pre>

!!! Merging issues

If you change the name of a file remember to include the old name at the end of the merge, or you will get a weird error message.

 <verbatim>
 svn merge new.c -r1:5 ../old/prevnew.c
 </verbatim>

If automatic merging fails, after manually editing the file, remember to announce the conflict as resolved:

 <verbatim>
 svn resolved new.c
 </verbatim>

!!! Deleting directories

After <tt>svn delete</tt>, you must manually delete the directory afterwards, otherwise the next <tt>svn commit</tt> will fail with a weird error message.

This might be fixed in 1.1.14.

!!! Removing revisions from a repository

If you want to remove the last X revisions from a repository, you can do it this way:

 <verbatim>
 svnadmin create repo2
 svnadmin dump -r 0:173 repo1 | svnadmin load repo2
 </verbatim>

This creates a new repository called <tt>repo2</tt> and dumps revisions 0 to 173 (inclusive) from <tt>repo1</tt> into it.

!!! Getting rid of external items in your repository

 <verbatim>
 svn propdel svn:externals
 </verbatim>

!!! Checking out a project to use

If you want to checkout a local repository into the current directory type:

  <verbatim>
  svn co file:///home/my-svn-dir/name-of-my-repository .
  </verbatim>

!!! SVN+SSH on a port other than 22

Open the file ~~/.subversion/config in your favorite text editor.%%%
In the section ~[tunnels] add a line like follows (for port 222)~:
  <verbatim>
  ssh2 = $SVN_SSH ssh -p 222
  </verbatim>
Then check out your repository using the new tunnel~:
  <verbatim>
  svn co svn+ssh2://my.svn.server/path/to/svn
  </verbatim>
