Web Dav

Hello,
	I tried to mount a drive for my svn repository. Everything works
fine, except that I can not change the files in it. I tried to override a
file, it told me an error happened while copying.

	Do I have to do something to make it writable?

	Thanks,
	Calvin

Glad to see a +ive transition in your perception about SVN wrt your past few 
posts. have you "SVNAutoVersioning On" in your config file for Repo of 
interest. RTF(ine)M? care to post (sanitized) config file?

..HTH

Cannot filter trunk using svndumpfilter.

Posted by Carsten Koch <Ca...@icem.com>.
As suggested in the subversion book, we are using mod branches
for development. So developers basically do
     svn copy http://host/repos/product/trunk http://host/repos/product/mods/name
then work locally with http://host/repos/product/mods/name and
merge it back into the trunk using something like
     svn co http://host/repos/product/trunk
     svn merge -rstart:end http://host/repos/product/mods/name@end trunk

With a lot of developers, a lot of stuff piles up quickly under
http://host/repos/product/mods, so we would like to clean up
every now and then by dumping the repository and running it
though "svndumpfilter include product/trunk" to get rid of
everything else.

Unfortunately, this does not work. For files that were created in
a mod branch and merged back into the trunk, svndumpfilter
says "svn: Invalid copy source path" and aborts.

I understand that it is impossible to keep the entire history
intact, if the file originates from a mod branch that is not included.
But not including the mod branch is the entire point of the exercise. ;-)
So it would be nice if svndumpfilter would continue, converting the
"merge with history" into a "import without history".

Is there a switch to svndumpfilter that allows me to do that?
Or is it a missing feature?

Thanks for any hint,

Carsten.

Make sure your mod_dav_svn installation is svn 1.2, then read this book 
chapter:

    http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.webdav.html

In particular, read the "Autoversioning" and "Client Interoperability" 
sections.
