Tool for upgrading many svn repos with dump/load?
Hi all,
are you aware of any tool that is able to upgrade many SVN repos by
creating a new empty default repo, dump a corresponding old repo, load
that dump into the new one AND is able to MERGE the configuration? I
have some dozen repos hosted by svnserve with independent realms,
users, authz rules and such. This configuration could be just copied,
but I would prefer merged default configs for documentation purpose
and such.
I've created something similar in the past using Powershell, but
without the merge stuff and it just don't work on our now used Ubuntu
servers. Before I roll my own new script, I wanted to make sure that I
don't miss anything because I didn't found something mentioned on the
net.
Thanks!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Thorsten Schöning

I've always liked 'meld' as a visual merge tool. If you can get a
copy of your old, edited file on the same system (running an X
desktop) as the updated and possibly slightly different copy it is
fairly easy to identify and copy over your changes and make any other
needed additional edits.

That really sounds a bit complicated and though I thought of using
some diff tool myself, I gues the easiest is to just copy the
configured lines I know I did change in my repos, which are are most
likely just those not commented. Treating the configuration as
key/value file and just copy some special keys may be enough for my
case...

Since you're moving from windows to Ubuntu, you can run the dump/load process over ssh to avoid having to deal with bloated dump files: http://martin.ankerl.com/2006/01/24/svnadmin-dump-and-load-over-ssh/ (You can use mobaxterm (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ ) on Windows, which is a Cygwin bash shell in a self contained exe. Very, very convenient.)
You can also use ssh to create the empty repos remotely.
As for merging the configurations, short of creating a temp repo in which you check in the default repo's auth/conf/hook files into trunk, and then checking in your live repo auth/conf/hook scripts into a branch off of trunk, then merging the branch into the trunk to effectively merge the files and then copying the merged files to the new repos, I don't know of anything. =(
