Repository for some files only?
Hi,
I have a simple problem: I use svn to manage the configuration files of
my servers. Sometimes the services have their own directories and
creating a repository (and imprting) is no problem, because "svn import"
recursive imports all files.
But what if I want to check in some (or only one) file inside /etc? Is
there a better way than the one (and complex) I found?
- "svncreate ..."
- "svn import ..." the whole directory (e.g. /etc)
- "mv /etc /etc.orig" - I won't delete something if there may be
problems appear...
- "svn checkout ..." - now I have the whole directory inside the
repository - that's not what I want
- "svn delete <file1> <file2> ..." - I delete every file I don't need
inside the repository
- "cp ../etc.orig/<file1> ." ... I copy every files I just deleted in
the repository (and on my harddisc) back
Now I have only some of the files I needed in the repository. But this
is quite not an easy way. Is there a better solution around?
Thanks, Holger
