But subsequent report "svn_load_dirs.pl: import_dir 'trunk' is a directory." - but that's the trunk - I'm trying to import all the snapshots to the trunk one by one, so why does it stop me?


This is the command I am issuing:

svn_load_dirs.pl -t tags/20111017testcode http://127.0.0.1:9880/nsr/ trunk "Y:\My Documents\assignments\nsr\code\20111017testcode"


If trunk already exists - i.e. at http://127.0.0.1:9880/nsr/trunk (which it should be, as expected, after all it is the trunk!) then I get the error:
svn_load_dirs.pl: import_dir 'trunk' is a directory

Surely the point of svn_load_dirs.pl is to provide automation for importing snapshots to the trunk? This error message does not make sense, sure I can see perhaps it is trying to help those that miss out command line arguments but there is a legitimate case for having trunk already present obviously, because it's the trunk.

Each root project in the repo can stand alone once it is checked out, it will include all dependents as externals and its build system is setup accordingly, so the project is fully self complete. All projects should be easily integrated into other projects, again using externals, so the final high level project should still be self complete. However, this leads to repeated file copies in the local working directory.

/CommonTools--------------------------//Independent Code
/Project1-------------------------------//Independent Code, with dependencies
---------/CommonTools-----------------// from svn:externals in Project1
/Project2-------------------------------//Independent Code, with dependencies
---------/CommonTools-----------------// from svn:externals in Project2
/Project3-------------------------------//Independent Code, with dependencies
---------/Project1----------------------// from svn:externals in Project3
------------------/CommonTools--------// from svn:externals in Project1-- Repeated!
---------/Project2----------------------// from svn:externals in Project3
------------------/CommonTools--------// from svn:externals in Project1-- Repeated!

Each root folder in the repo (CommonTools, and Projects 1-3) should be able to be checked out and used (compiled, run, etc.) independently, without the user having to manually check out anything else. When dependencies exist for a project, they are simply pulled automatically with svn:externals. In this way, the project is 'complete', meaning that its dependents are included during the checkout, to a relative path within the project, and the build files (CMakeLists.txt) are setup to look into the correct relative folder where the dependents exist. For projects that only require one level of dependencies (Projects 1-2), where their dependents do not have dependents of their own, there is no issue. However, for a project (project 3) where the dependents are also dependent on other resources, there is a strong possibility that those dependent resources will be repeated throughout the full project (project 3 will have multiple repeat copies of the same externals).

For small dependencies (with not much code), and where those dependencies are static (they are being used as-is in the current development, from a specific external revision), having multiple copies is perhaps not a serious issue; it's just a small amount of disk space. However, it is philosophically annoying, and if the dependencies are large in size this starts to become a problem. Even worse, if the dependency code is actively being modified, where the current project (project3) is the driver, and test case, for improved development, then the user must modify one of the repeated copies, commit the changes to that file, and then do an project update to pull down those changes to the other copies. This causes a commit before the user can even perform a new compile and test that the changes are good, i.e. very bad semantics.

The naive solution to this problem is to simply have all dependencies documented for all projects, and to not use svn:externals at all. Then, when a developer wants to use any of those projects as dependencies for the new project, they simply go and check them out locally into one location. Or, a branch for the new project can be setup that will include the dependencies using svn:externals, which is basically used as a convenience for the current developer, since, in the end, externals will not be used in the final project. However, this seems to just be stepping around the problem, and ignoring the potential utility of externals. Worse, each dependent project 'should' already have a self contained build system, since it will already know of all its own dependents, but with this naive solution this will not work. The dependents of any project cannot be expected to exist within their own folders, so all projects cannot be 'complete' as they exist in the repo, since the build files will always have to be modified for a given end user.

I have searched around for a proper solution to this problem, but all the hits I've found are only about using svn:externals with one level of dependents (and most of the solutions for similar issues are basically the 'naive' solution mentioned above.) I've not found any reference to this problem of multiple dependent levels leading to multiple copies of common code. This leads me to think I'm thinking about this the wrong way, if so, let me know. However, I don't want to have a system of workarounds, I do want to enable the intended simple semantics. Below is the best solution to this problem I've developed so far, but I've yet to implement it, as it would require modifying many projects, so I'm looking for feedback on this or better solutions.

/CommonTools--------------------------//Independent Code
/Project1Full----------------------------//Independent Code, with dependencies
------------/Project1-------------------// *Core code for Project1, requires dependencies in ../Common/
------------/Common-------------------// convention for relative common location
---------------------/CommonTools-----// from svn:externals in Project1Full
/Project2Full----------------------------//Independent Code, with dependencies
------------/Project2-------------------// *Core code for Project2, requires dependencies in ../Common/
------------/Common-------------------// convention for relative common location
---------------------/CommonTools-----// from svn:externals in Project2Full
/Project3Full----------------------------//Independent Code, with dependencies
------------/Project3-------------------// *Core code for Project3, requires dependencies in ../Common/
------------/Common-------------------// convention for relative common location
---------------------/Project1----------// from svn:externals in Project3Full - a direct dependent for Project3
---------------------/Project2----------// from svn:externals in Project3Full - a direct dependent for Project3
---------------------/CommonTools-----// from svn:externals in Project3Full - a MANUAL merge of svn:externals from Project1Full and Project2Full

For All Projects: The build files are set to look for dependents in {$Common}/, and at the top of each build file this path is set as ../Common if it is not set already, otherwise, the path will stay the same. This allows the final top most project's dependencies to all exist at the same directory level. This build convention is the only way to allow all Projects to build independently, and as a dependent themselves.

I think I like this solution, over the current layout, but there are three potential problems, however, all of them appear to have acceptable solutions.
1) There is no guarantee that you will only have a single copy of all required externals. For example, one dependent project, ProjectA, only externs a single file from the CommonTools toolset, CommonTool1.hpp, since this is the only file that project needs. Another dependent project, ProjectB, is using much of the CommonTools toolset, and therefore externs the entire folder. Then, in the final /Common/ folder there will exist both the full folder as well as a second copy of one of the files (two copies of the same file exist, /Common/CommonTools/CommonTool1.hpp and /Common/CommonTool1.hpp). I don't anticipate that this occurs too often, since usually the toolset is in one of two cases, one, a collection of heterogeneous tools that will almost always be externed specifically one file at a time, or two, a collection of tools intended to work together that must be externed as the full folder. Also, for any common toolset a convention could be set requiring that any external use of those tools must fall explicitly into only one of those two categories.
2) The developer of a new project must perform a manual merge of all externals of each of the dependent projects, to remove any duplicates. By itself, this is not a big deal. However, the side effect is that any updates to the dependent projects, by other users, which modify the required externals will break the new project, since the manually merged externals will not get this update. I do not anticipate this as a major problem, because this issue only occurs if the externals are set to pull the head revision, but this would only be the case during constant development of that external in conjunction with the new project. If this is the case, then both the developer of this new project and the other developers working on the dependent project should be in constant communication anyway. However, this leads to the final problem...
3) When the externals for a project are set to pull a specific revision, and multiple dependent projects each use a different revision for a common external, this is a clash of dependents. For example, Project1 pulls /CommonTools revision 1 and Project2 pulls CommonTools revision 2, therefore, each dependent project requires different code in the same location within /Common/. However, if another convention is adopted, where every external of a specific revision is given a local copy name specific to that revision, then this problem goes away. For example, Project1 pulls /CommonTools revision1 and renames it /CommonToolsr1, and Project2 pulls /CommonTools revision2 and renames it /CommonToolsr2, then each dependent project will get its own required version of its external, there is no local clash, and any repeated copies of the same external revision, from multiple dependents, will still be consolidated during the manual external merge.

All rational advice and critical responses are welcome. Thanks,

A little less than a year ago, we switched from SVN v1.4 to v1.6, but everything was fine until just recently. Over the last four months, the merginfo property for my project in our repository has been problematic. In the beginning, trunk to branch merges would result in the mergeinfo property for several subdirectories within the project being deleted. The problem is, these weren't deleted in the trunk. After this original issue, single entries of the mergeinfo property would be deleted during synchronization merges. Again, these weren't deleted in the trunk, so why were they being deleted during the trunk to branch merges? Both full and single entry deletions are still plaguing the project. Has anyone noticed something like this happen?

Thanks,

Background:
I've implemented SVN server for my project management on a Windows server. I am accessing svn repository remotely. To enable that user can update the commit message after commit, I've created a "pre-revprop-change.bat" file in hook folder of the repository. The file had only one line as 'exit 0'.

Problem:
I've accessed the same repository from two different machines. I've updated the commit message from one machine and checked that on another machine to verify the implementation. On another machine commit message is older one. New commit message is not reflected at that. I am using SmartSVN as client for the repository.

I am able to update the commit message on both machines but that updated commit message appears on individual machine only. That doesn't reflect on server I guess because it is not reflected on another machines' cache.

Please guide me how to resolve this issue.

I want some shared files to show up as Read Only when a working copy is created, using ‘needs-lock’ only seems to do that if the original file is checked out?
I am trying to set up a repository for several projects which all require some of the same files as a resource. I have set them up to be shared by using the External property using TortoiseSVN. The files are tagged at a specific revision for the property. That all seems to be working fine. Since the files are shared I want them to be locked which also works. However, I would also like developers to know not to accidentally edit the file. I tried using the 'needs-lock' property on the files so they would check out as Read Only. That works if I make a working copy from the "real" source. If I have a working copy that used the External reference to get the file however it doesn't get created as Read Only and there is no way to know it shouldn't be edited until you try to do a commit.
I have been unable to find anything that explains use of locks with External files. Is there another way, maybe I missed something in my setup of the files?
