I have a project in a directory projects/projectA. it has a corresponding subversion repository. I'm using Tortoisesvn as the front end.
I'm trying to move the project to projects/projectA_old and cannot find a way to do it. looks like renaming from tortoise works only on directories inside the project and not the project directory itself.
Thanks
Just rename the directory from the operating system - its name is not significant to SVN.

I have a repository in a folder /var/www/. Through the git client, I select this folder as "open an existing repository", but the repository opens as if it is located in the /run/ directory.
This did not happen on the old computer. And now I have a number of problems. For example, auto-updating of the state of files after their modification does not work. It also fails to use Stash. There are also other problems.
UPDATE and a solution: I found out that this problem appeared due to the fact that I installed the flatpack version of Sublime Merge on
a new computer. When I reinstalled it as a regular package, everything
works as it should.
I'm not sure if the problem is exactly in the changed repository path, but this is my main suspicion.
I'm using Linux Mint 21.1. Test this with git-clients Sublime Merge and Gittyup. Sublime Merge shows the path to repositories as /run/user/1000/doc/c9e48011/<repo_name>.
Gittyup as /run/flatpak/doc/c9e48011/<repo_name>.
On the path from Sublime Merge, there really is a folder with all the files from my repository. And the path that Gittyup shows is inaccessible because the /run/flatpak/ folder doesn't actually exist.
Why is this happening and how to fix it?
I'm trying to use CVS on my linux machine for the first time for a project, and I keep hitting my head against the same brick wall.
I have created a projects directory as /home/myuser/cvsproject
I then set the environment variable for CVS as:
export CVSROOT=/home/myuser/cvsproject
I then ran the initialize for CVS as: cvs init
This created the CVSROOT folder under my projects directory.
I then created a lower level project directory, as /home/myuser/cvsproject/project1
I added these project details in the modules file at the end as
project1 project1
I am now trying to add a new file to the repository with cvs add project1/filename.txt but I get the following error:
cvs add: in directory project1:
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
The file is in my current directory, located in /home/myuser/cvsproject/
If I try to add the file without the project1 prefix: cvs add filename.txt I get the same error still.
I am able to check out a file in the CVSROOT directory, i.e.
cvs checkout CVSROOT/modules so CVS is definitely working.
I appreciate any help. Thanks
CVS is not decentralised, you shouldn't make your project directory the root of CVS repository. Set CVSROOT to different place where your repository will reside (that is not the same place as your project's working directory - it should be some place new, where CVS will create its structure), then add or import everything you need (don't forget to commit). If you want another working copy, you should checkout from the same CVSROOT.
I have a linux eclipse project checked into our company svn. Works great.
The project is intended to be cross compiled on Windows.
Untill now, I have simply moved the source files between OSes. However, I thought I'd like to let svn do this for me. Should be simple enough, just checkout the eclipse linux src into the VS project dir, right? Wrong!
The correct source was checked out of svn and it worked fine. But when I tried to check it back in i kept getting "Commit not completed filename remains in conflict" errors. I hadn't even changed anything!
Did a little checking. Turns out the linux src directory is pretty much just the source and headers. On the MSVS side the project directory contains the source and headers but also contains a bunch of files that are used by VS with names like projname.vcproj etc. etc.
So, I did a checkout into a scratch dirextory, .\fred. Checked .\fred back in. No problems. Added a new file to .fred, xxx.xxx. Check in reported:
svn: E200009: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E200009: 'C:\Projects\fred\xxx.xxx' is not under version control
Makes me wonder about those uncommitted Visual Studio files.
So, are those files my problem? Are they breaking the commit operation?
As an alternate solution I am thinking of adding the VS files to the src dir in svn. If linux/eclipse checks them out I can tell eclipse to ignore them (I think it'll just ignore them for me). Any thoughts or recommendations for this approach?
(BTW, i still had fresh source on the linux side so any thing that got clobbered could be safely restored.)
So here is one solution I have working for the moment. I am not sure how totally stable it is.
Caveat: The project i am using already existed as a MSVS project.
In the MSVS solution dir, rename the source dir (MSVS likes the source dir name to match the solution dir name, so this means the source dir may not be named src) to something uninvolved in the solution, like temp.
SVN checkout the src (eclipse like to call source dirs src).
cd into the source dir. Issue the command:
svn changelist msvs *.cpp *.h
Add *.c if needed. "msvs" is the changelist name. It can be whatever you want ti to be.
This will created a changelist for the checked out directory.
Now, copy the remaining files from the temp directory into your source dir.
When you need to do a checkin, cd into the source dir and issue this command:
svn ci --changelist msvs
Note. You have to be in the src dir for this to work.
I am creating a svnrepository using svnadmin create svndump
In the svnsump I am creating a folder with the name trunk and importing some of my existing files.
svn import /home/somefiles/ file:///home/svndump/trunk/
But when i see trunk folder it does'nt contains any folder which are imported from somefiles folder.
but when i looked the files using svn log file:///home/svnadump/trunk/ i can see the files .
it seems files are copying but they are not adding to the repository..
how to add files to repository???
Please help me..
Thanks in Advance.
You should be using svn ls to view the contents of repository.
For adding files to repository once you have imported, the standard way is to checkout a copy, add some files using 'svn add' and them commit them to the repository.
After my OS crashed, I've installed a fresh version (Windows 7 Pro x64).
I want to commit my project changes, so I need to restore my local repository to do this. Of course I have the all files located in my folder where was the repository before the OS crash, but of course TortoiseSVN doesn't know that there was a repository. How can I do it (I believe it is possible to restore that repository)?
If you still have your repository folder, intact with all the .svn subfolders, all you should need is installing TortoiseSVN itself after the OS reinstall. TortoiseSVN does not rely on anything outside the file system to identify working folders, so you should be able to just check in.
I think you're mixing up "repository" and "working-copy" here.
Assuming you have a local repository created on your harddrive:
To find your repository you could do a fresh checkout of your local repository and specify the location starting with "file://". If you have an old working-copy, but the repository is not at its old location, you can relocate it with the TortoiseSVN command "relocate".
An old working-copy should just show up. Chances are that it doesn't show up, because you installed a new version of TortoiseSVN (1.7.x) which uses a newer working-copy-format that is different from the older format. You need to select your working-copy directory and select "upgrade working-copy" so you can work with it.
Simply checkout a new project and copy the .svn folder into existing project.
