moving the svn root up a directory
We set up an svn repo using FSFS that has repository root like this:
https://our.server.addr/svn/project1
Now we have realized that this was mistake and want to "migrate" the
root of svn "upward", but keep the paths to the projects the same.
So that the desired repository root is https://our.server.addr/svn
with "project1" as a subdirectory of svn. This is, of course so we
can add other projects to the same svn root.
What is the proper way to do this? I am assuming with a dump/load,
but want to make sure that is the right way to do it. And would there
be any implications on the existing working copies? Will they need
to do a "relocate"? Or something else?
Or is there better way of doing this change? Like changing the root
to a different path?
(Of course point me to the proper FAQ or red book chapter, if that's
appropriate; I don't think I've found anything that directly applies
to our situation).
Thanks,
yuji

It's reasonable if the projects are related and need to reference each
other. For instance, one might have a library project and several
application projects that use it. This is easier if all projects are in the
same repository.
Whether they should share a repo is more an administrative question,
related to how access control is to be maintained.

Or do what I do and make the authz and passwd files symlinks to global
versions of these files. You can always 'opt out' a repo by recreating them
as normal files if you need more specific access controls in the future.

Not difficult, but possibly tedious. If two repos have the same
authorization policies, you might as well make just one to simply
administration. Think of a repo like a filesystem. Creating two repos is
like creating two shares on a server, or perhaps two partitions to share.

Ah. I like simplicity.
So do you suggest keeping, e.g:
https://our.server.addr/svn/project1
https://our.server.addr/svn/project2
as separate svn repos?
(that's even simpler than what I was thinking!).
I guess I was working from the assumption that it was difficult to
maintain multiple repos with the same users (as it is in CVS.)
But of course, I guess it is simpler with svn.
Thanks, I think we are now on the right track.

Re: moving the svn root up a directory
Posted by Mark <ma...@mitsein.net>.
If I understand you correctly, the directory svn is a normal directory
and svn/project1 is an svn repository. You want svn to be the
repository. So, assuming you are on *nix:
mv svn svn.old
mv svn.old/project1 svn
and done. It also seems that you want to host multiple projects in
the same repository. That's your choice, I suppose, but I would
recommend against.
As far as keeping the paths of the projects the same, that may take some work.
Before the change that I just did, you had
http://our.server.addr/svn/project1 and now it is
http://our.server.addr/svn. Assuming you have just the one existing
project in the repository now, just create a directory and move
everything into it.
svn mkdir -m 'making project directory' http://our.server.addr/svn/project1
svn co http://our.server.addr/svn
cd svn
svn mv * project1
svn commit -m 'moved project1 into its own dir'
I hope I've understood you correctly.
