accept old files

hi :-)


is it possible to make svn to accept old files, please ?
for example if i already downloaded them with cvs or if i extracted 
them from an archive
like would do rsync in the same context
instead of saying that it can't add a directory, because an other 
object has the same name

For questions on the MacPorts vesion of Subversion, you're best off
asking the person who maintains that. It won't be available until the
official 1.5 release, and that doesn't have an actual date scheduled
yet.

thank you very much :-))

do you know when it will be available via macports ?

and, will also be possible to change the url of the source ?
(for example from
svn co 
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_4_0/base/ 
macports/
to
svn co 
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_5_0/base/ 
macports/
?)

In current trunk, which will be 1.5, you will be able to do this.  The
checkout/update/switch commands all have a --force option that will
leave your files in tact and just create the working copy.

The solution is to check out a new working copy.

Ok, check out new working copies of all of the projects.

I believe you're looking for the "switch" command, which is of course  
described in detail in the book:

No, I started from an empty directory.

Works as expected ;-)
BTW: The whole project is 17MB in size, not too much...

are you sure you had already GtkAda/ with sth inside ?
if no, i think you should be able to reproduce the pb with "rm -Rf 
GtkAda/.svn/" and rerun svn

%svn st GtkAda/
svn: avertissement : 'GtkAda' n'est pas une copie de travail
%svn co http://svn.eu.adacore.com/anonsvn/Dev/trunk/GtkAda/
A    GtkAda/configure
svn: �chec � l'ajout du fichier 'GtkAda/Makefile.in' : un objet de m�me

Works for me, so it is most probably a client problem on your side.
Can you be more specific?
What do you mean with "it does not work"?

i had a look to the doc before saying you that i can't read it all the  
way through
but, it's right, i could stop on "import" keyword


did you think about
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/ 
svn.tour.importing.html#svn.tour.importing.import
and
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/ 
svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.edit
?
it seems that i need to make several copy of files to make a local svn  
repository with local files

so, too bad, i'll delete and re-download, waiting for the next version  
:-)

What makes you think *I* have time to answer your 5 questions per day
if *you* don't take the time to read the perfectly fine documentation?

i don't understand what i have to do
could you show me the way for the 1st time, please ? :-)

https://libre.adacore.com/GtkAda/main.html
i just prefer download it via svn than download an archive, i don't 
want to contribute

i'm in /my-directory/
i have GtkAda/ that i got with cvs, but recently GtkAda moved to svn
now i have to do
svn co http://svn.eu.adacore.com/anonsvn/Dev/trunk/GtkAda/
but it doesn't works :-)

so, could you show me what have i exactly to do, to be able to recover 
what i have already downloaded, to not need to delete and re-download 
all, please ? :-)


> Also, did you
> read The Book (http://svnbook.org/)?

no, but i can't read it all the way through
could you give me some links, as you did for the faq, please ? :-)

See the FAQ about in-place import
(http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#in-place-import). Also, did you
read The Book (http://svnbook.org/)?
