I am working on a file system repository with Tortoise.
I deleted the initial folder where I created the repository.
The folder which I added to the old repository, when I try to add to a new repository, the error message appears:
Repository UUID '6df16c57-c740-ea49-ab7f-fcd22d7f7cb9' doesn't match expected
Is there a way to simply clear out the settings for the old repository? So that I could perform the importing of the folder to add into the new repository in a clean slate.
BTW this is my tortoise version (if it is of any help):
TortoiseSVN 1.5.8, Build 15348 - 32 Bit , 2009/02/13 18:06:18
Subversion 1.5.5,
apr 1.2.12
apr-utils 1.2.12
berkeley db 4.4.20
neon 0.28.3
OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008
zlib 1.2.3
Basically, all I want to do is to clear up the repository which I earlier created so that it is like starting from scratch over again.
Thanks.
There's an easy way to do this with TortoioseSVN:
unversion a working copy
Yes. If you have Cygwin installed, you can use the unsvn utility to remove all the ".svn" folders.

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?
On a quite fresh setup I ran
bin/build-storefront.sh
Now var/plugins.json is on the list of changed files in git. Now I am wondering if I should commit this file, because it contains local absolute paths - which might be different on other systems:
EDIT: The file seems to be recreated during build, when I deleted it. However it's in the production-template git repository which is strange.
var/plugins.json is auto generated by build-administration.sh and build-storefront.sh to set entry points and output files for Webpack for the installed plugins.
This file should not be commited. If you commit, it will be replaced anyway. It will be ignored by git in the upcoming version of Shopware 6.4 (see the commit).
After migrating svn repos from a server to another server, even I used "--force-uuid" in svnadmin load command, the passwd files of the repositories are empty.
All conf folder contents are empty.
Is there a way to migrate conf file properly?
Thanks for your help.
edit: from server's svn version is 1.6, to server's svn version is 1.7. is version difference causes a problem like this?

You must not use Subversion 1.7 or older versions. Upgrade to the latest 1.9.x.
I would recommend that you read the documentation before you perform any repository maintenance or administration tasks. SVNBook is a great resource of information about Subversion and version control in general. It will help you familiarize yourself with common terminology and concepts of SVN and version control.

Read SVNBook | Repository data migration using svnadmin:
The Subversion repository dump format describes versioned repository
changes only. It will not carry any information about uncommitted
transactions, user locks on filesystem paths, repository or server
configuration customizations (including hook scripts), and so on.
And note that UUID has nothing to do with your htpasswd file.
I have an old Subversion on one server and another new one on another server.
I would like to export the head revision from the old repository and import it into the new one.
I have tried the below which seems to export, but I can't get it to import into the new one.
svn export --depth immediates file:///repositories/repo1/ /home/me/repo-export
This is what I am trying for import:
svn import /home/me/repo-export/ /svnroot/
How can this be done via the Linux (Red Hat Linux 4) command line?
It is possible to migrate only the most recent version without the history. However, I strongly recommend to migrate everything. The migration is explained in detail in the online book Version Control with Subversion:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.migrate
In short:
Use svnadmin dump /path/to/old/repo or svnrdump dump old-url to create a dump of the old repository.
Use svnadmin load /path/to/new/repo or svnrdump load new-url to load the dump into the new 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.
