svn list command
Hi all,
The svn list command is used to list files in a repository. And
is usually quite fast in giving its results. But the switch
svn list -R
is (understandably) quite slow in giving its results.
So a new user may inadvertently kill the process thinking that the
process has misbehaved.
Why not give an immediate feedback to the user that the process is doing
its job. Something like:
svn list -R
connecting to http://the/path/to/repos
and then maybe a continuous feedback.
Just a suggestion.
Vivek

If you're using fsfs as your back-end database, rsync should still work
for you.
(Other readers check my facts, please.)
With FSFS, old revisions don't change, period. (They call them immutable.)
Every time there is a new commit, a revision file for that version is
created. rsync will pick up that there is a new file in the repository
folder and copy that new file only.
Other files in the repository may change for other reasons that I have
no information on, but a scheduled rsync against the repository folder
should do "the right thing".

Do this in the 'post-commit' hook. That's what I do; I keep incremental
revision backups for every commit and then slosh them about using rsync.
The hook is told the name of the revision and the repository path, so
it can be pretty dumb (extract, like this):
CHANGES=PATH_TO_CHANGES/change.$REV
svnadmin dump "$REPOS" --revision "$REV" --incremental >${CHANGES} 2>/dev/null

Incremental backups to "nightly" files
Posted by Greg Franks <gr...@franks.dnsalias.com>.
I just migrated my +10year old RCS/CVS repository to subversion. Modulo
MAC OSX issues with the library load paths (and some headaches with
viewcvs), I'm rather happy.
One thing I would like to do though is remote backup. I was running
rsync on the repositories to move everything from one computer to
another at a remote site. Rsync would copy over only the changes made
to the repository.
I would like to do the same with subversion. It looks like the svnadmin
dump --incremental would do the trick. The incrementals would get
dumped to separate files and rsync would take care of the rest.
However, it looks like I need to figure out some way of specifying a
revision range. I am hoping that somebody on the mailing list has
already come up with some funky script to do so, and if so, could they
share their solution.
thanks
..greg

But it doesn't *have* to be that slow. It could start printing its results
when it receives the entries instead of waiting for them all. Issue #1742
is about this. I think it is better to get that fixed than spitting out
progress messages.
Thanks for the suggestion, anyway,
//Peter
