Subversion on an USB FAT32 partition
Hello,
I tried to create a subversion repository on my USB flash drive, but it
couldn't handle locks since the partition is a FAT filesystem.
I was wondering if there was a way to have a repository working on that,
without needing to create an ext fs on it.
The fact is that I would like to use this USB drive to take my
repository everywhere, and so that I could work with it under windows
and linux systems...
Could anyone please tell me if there's an easier way to get it to work ?
A subversion fan !

Set up a server. Access the server from anywhere.
Keep your working copy on the flash drive if you like (I'm not sure
if that will work, but it might).

Yes ! Great Thanks !
I gave up too early, thank you Brass !
I tried once again, creating either a bdb or an fsfs repository and both
worked !
I've really been stupid, since I forgot a slash in my command :
WRONG : svn mkdir file://h:/repos/test
RIGHT : svn mkdir file:///h:/repos/test
Subversion is really a great thing !

What do you mean "couldn't handle locks"? I currently have a small repo
on a 1 gig LG flash drive and it seems to work quite nicely. 'Course,
I'm only running Windows.

Instead of putting the repository on the drive, put a
working copy on it instead. I do this with a 1 GB USB
drive and it works fine under Gentoo GNU/Linux. I've
had equal results under Mac OS X.
