Possible to give permission to specific project folders in TortoiseSVN

pooja — Tue, 21 May 2013 05:13:04 GMT

Hi,
I have 5 projects but I don't want all developers having access to all the 5 projects. Is it possible to give permissions just to one specific folder in TortoiseSVN? If yes, please let me know the steps. I am pretty new to TortoiseSVN and I am still don't know all its functionality.

Permissions not working

otrotabi — Mon, 20 May 2013 12:21:57 GMT

Hi,

I am in the process of moving ur comany�s repos to a different server, I am using svndamin dump in the original server and then using Ubersvn tools to create the "new" repository. This works fine.

However, I do not want to delete the original repositories until I am 100 % sure there is no information missing, so I figured I would just use the permissions tab for this repository at the old server and delete everyone�s permission to access this repo. This does not seem to work though, I am still able to commit to that repository. I am using "Ubersvn Internally managed" permissions.

Any hints what maybe wrong ?

Regards

User_Agent string in svn client tools

satheesh — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:48:25 GMT

Hi,

we need to set our own custom user-agent string in svn client tools(svn.exe,svnmucc.exe,svnsync.exe,etc). But we don't want to use dlls for this User-Agent String(but we use dlls for other operations). How can we set custom the user agent string to executable itself(svn.exe,svnsync,...) while building the subversion sources.

Thanks in advance

Link supporting dlls statically to svn client

satheesh — Mon, 20 May 2013 08:03:41 GMT

Hi,

How can we link svn supporting dlls(libsvn_ra-1.dll,libsvn_delta-1.dll,...) statically to subversion clients(svn.exe,svnmucc.exe,etc) during the subversion build process. because i don't want to use dlls separately.

Is it possible?

Thanks...

Commit with Tortoise SVN and svn.exe

Certum — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:24:43 GMT

Hi,

so far I have only used TortoiseSVN.

What I do is:
SVN Update -> select 'all' and ok
SVN Commit-> select 'all' and ok

Now I want to use svn.exe to create a batch file that commits and updates all my directories under version control.

It seems to me that update is quite easy but I think what I did with Tortoise commit so far also requires an add command? Could you please help me with a batch file? Thank you so much!

Post commit not getting called

satheesh — Wed, 15 May 2013 11:36:02 GMT

Hi All,

I have written post-commit hook for doing some operation on the repository when a property is applied on any of the path. Redirect the output of the post-commit hook to the text file for error handling.

While trying to apply the property on any of the path when the files are adding continuously(by using script) at the same time on the same repository , the post-commit hook not getting called. There is no such entry for property commit in the output text file.

Is it correct behavior ?

Thanks...

Anton.Yakimov — Tue, 14 May 2013 09:56:32 GMT

We moved from svn to https protocol and discovered, that it's not possible to merge show the log and diff anymore.

Here is an example of corrupted chunk in fsfs db/revs file:

problem is with spaces in property name:

svn:keywordsate Revision Author URL Id
We have 122 versions and files affected. But can't change it easily. FSFS file has checksums, offsets and other stuff.

Can anyone please help, how to make changes in these files? What should we recalculate after changes? Thanks!

PS modifying the dump file could be easier, but it's too large for editing. We can't also change property through cliet, because an error appear.

Changing E-Mail template

Christoph_DE — Tue, 14 May 2013 05:28:32 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to access the templates which define text and style of the e-mail notifications of uberSVN? The standard text and style is not suitable for our requirements and in order to use the mailing system we have to adapt it.

Thanks in advance and best regards
Christoph

awdorrin — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:58:04 GMT

I tried using the Squeeze 1.7.9 SVN to install on Debian 7 (Wheezy) and received similar dependency errors as was previously posted for installing on Squeeze.

I see that there is only an ARM release for Wheezy on the WANdisco repository - anyone know when/if one for i386 will become available?

Thanks,

Temporary check-in ?

Spectator — Sat, 11 May 2013 22:43:01 GMT

First off all, sorry for my English, it is not my native language.

My question is: How can I TEMPORARY "check in" files to fix my current sources state?

Consider the following situation:

generally I have

a) some stable and "good" version in repository
b) some unstable and dirty version in working (development) directory

in some moment I suddenly have fix this bad-bad bug, after a week of work, in 01:50 after midnight.
I want to SAVE current version of all my files into temporary but safe place, while it works, THEN (tomorrow) clean up code, THEN accurately check in all files, THEN finally eliminate any temporary saves from SVN.

I don't want to add dirty but working version under SVN constantly, because this will destroy "nice" development history. So I have to save all files in "magic" directory on my disk and lose ability of comparing stable version, temporary version with fixed bug, and current version, which I try to clean up before final (planned) "check in".

P.S. I am C++ programmer, not Web or something...
