using svnsync on Windows?

[coolkhu]

hello

can anybody tell me how to use svnsync on WINDOWS

I tried it but when I run svnsync with init subcommands I get the following error and it hangs too

[svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-cha
nge hook either failed or is non-existent
svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged]


Can anybody help plz?

Thanks
Khurram

Have you changed the pre-rev-prop hook??

Hi,

I am also new to SVN in Windows but following things worked for me.

1.
updating pre-revprop-change.tmpl to pre-revprop-change.bat and than changing content as follows

comment out all above line with windows comment syntex(: and pest following code
IF "%3" == "xxx" (goto :label1) else (echo "Only the nshah user may change revision properties" >&2 )

exit 1
goto :eof

:label1
exit 0

2.
updating start-commit.tmpl to start-commit.bat and than changing content as follows

comment out all above line with windows comment syntex(: and pest following code

IF "%2" == "nshah" (goto :label1) else (echo "Only the nshah user may commit new revisions" >&2 )

exit 1
goto :eof

:label1
exit 0

3.
stop the svn destination server

4.
Go to Subversion install bin directory in command prompt or include this directory in your class path.

5.
svnsync initialize file:///C:/svn-test/java http://192.168.0.1:80/svn/java --username xxx --password xxx

6.
start svn destination server.

7.
svnsync sync svn://localhost --username xxx --password xxx

It also worked for me when I just created an empty bat file with the name pre-revprop-change.bat in the /hooks folder.
