subversion disadavantages
Hi All,
I came across two disadvantages of subversion
1: once file added in subversion, can not be deleted form database. yes we
can delete the revesion but if i want to completeltly remove specific file
from database and all the revesions then it can not be possible
2: locking mechnaism is only available on file level and not on dir. level .
if i have thousand files and need lick all the files then i need lock file
one by one??. it's realy painful
we areusing subversion 1.5.4
please suggets
Regards
irf

Error tagging from maven
Posted by Geir Engebakken <ge...@edb.com>.
A user in my company is getting a strange error running mvn release:prepare.
He gets the following error :
[INFO] Executing: svn --non-interactive copy --file C:\DOCUME~1\et4045\LOCALS~1\Temp\maven-scm-1202692817.commit . http:
//svn.edb.com/repos/java/customer/scs/ws/context-module/tags/edb-scs-ws-contextModule-1.2
[INFO] Working directory: c:\edb\workspaces\generaloffice\context-module
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Unable to tag SCM
Provider message:
The svn tag command failed.
Command output:
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: File '/repos/java/customer/scs/ws/context-module/tags/edb-scs-ws-contextModule-1.2/src/main/java/com/edb/finance/cu
stomer/scs/ws/module/contextmodule/handler/AbstractContextModuleHandler.java' already exists
I have checked that the folder edb-scs-ws-contextModule-1.2 in tags does not exist, so why is he getting the file exists already error?
Any ideas?

This is not the intended purpose of locks in the first place - so even
if you *could* lock a directory, it'd be the wrong solution to the
"problem" you're attempting to solve. This should be done via SVN's
built-in security mechanisms, restricting write access to your tags
directory to only those users who should be creating tags.

here is th example. in Tags folder i am keeping all tghe official release.
now i dont want any user to modify the contents in the tag folder
i know that i can write the hook which will restrict user from modifying the
contents. but i was expecting this as a inbuilt feature in subversion to
lock the folder and files if needed instead of writing the custome trigger

Dont you remember? the backup story :-).
Locking out the users during backup, the way it's done with
broken-by-design tools.

True. And often discussed. Google for "svn obliterate", if you're curious.

True. Though, I'd be *very* interested to know why you feel the need
to lock so many files at once. What is it that you are trying to
achieve?
