updating a remote copy of SVN

[Peter Schuck <pe...@nasa.gov>]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to ssh tunnel or somehow update a
remote copy of my subversion tree. I've checked the FAQ and I know that
you can just start up an remote shell on the machine, but the problem I
have is a bit more complex

I have three machines:

A - which maintains the a remote subversion tree
B - A cluster where I would like to do some development but cannot see A
C - A machine which can see both A & B

How can I use C to update the subversion archive on B from A?

Make sense?
Possible?

Firewalls stink!

Thanks,

-- Pete

(I assume that to mean 'the svn server'.)

Depends on how you access svn. Assuming http:// and that you can
use that from C.

On C:

C > ssh B -R 8080:A:80
B > svn checkout http://localhost:8080/path/to/repo wcname

The real stink is that you may break some company policy using this method
(though improbable).
