removing a tag from the repository
We are in the process of migrating from CVS to SVN. I have used the
cvs2svn script to convert my repository and all went well. The
conversion gave us the expected branches, tags and trunk structure which
is wonderful, but we would now like to remove many of the tags that were
created and carried over from CVS.
In CVS we would build nightly and create a tag for all the files used in
the build. Over many years of development this has created thousand of
tags that will never be used again.
My question is, is it possible to permanently remove these tags so that
tools such as building the revision graph will run faster?
Thanks
Norm.

Thanks Mark,
That may just be the problem.

I had problems as well with tags not getting removed. Turned out I was
using filename wildcards, not Python regular expression patterns. Check
your patterns to ensure that you are doing things like this:
--exclude="some_tag_.*"
rather than
--exclude="some_tag_*"
When I fixed that I went from 500+ tags to around 20.

Thanks, I did try that when I ran cvs2svn and passed in
--exclude=TAG_TO_REMOVE* but it did not remove them when it converted.
I thought afterwards that perhaps that line would remove branch tags and
not file tags? My conversion completed with no errors, just all the
tags I did not want to carry over.

If I'm correct, it's possible to instruct cvs2svn to ignore tags with
certain patterns in the conversion (ie it won't recreate matching tags).

If you are serving through Apache and do not require path based
authorisation you can try turning off SVNPathAuthz.
Add "SVNPathAuthz off" in your httpd.conf <location> section for
subversion.
We did this and improved log and graph lookups from 30 mins to < 1 min!
HTH,
Graeme

RE: removing a tag from the repository
Posted by CRISP Norman <No...@alcatel-lucent.com>.
In CVS we use the revision graph to follow problems fixed between
branches and the graphing utility in CVS works really well for this.
What we have seen in SVN is that the functionality is not the same, but
still with the number of build tags that we have it takes over an hour
to generate the graph. We were hoping that by removing some of the
internal build tags that we don't care about we can speed this up.
Plenty of investigation on this topic has shown us that SVN users don't
seem to use the graphing capabilities the way that we have in CVS and
would like to in SVN.
Norm.

Out of curiosity, what do you use the revision graph for?
