browsing repositories
Hi there,
I have two similar repositories with the following directory structure:
1)
repos1/ (generated by "svnadmin create repos1")
repos1/repos1a (generated by "svnadmin create repos1/repos1a")
and
2)
repos2/ (generated by "svnadmin create repos2")
repos2/repos2a (generated by "svnadmin create repos2/repos2a").
browsing these repositories, I find two different kinds of html listing:
1)
Revision x:
branches/
tags/
trunk/
2)
Revision x:
branches/
repos2a/
tags/
trunk/
In the second case, the "sub-repository" repos2a is listed, but in the
first case not. Can I adjust html-browsing properties in SVN, or is it
all just left over to the DAV lib? Thanks for any help!
Best Regards,
Thomas Zinnbauer

Ok, I will take this into account. Guess I will maintain an index.html
file with links to all existing projects and keep the repositories
seperated. (The index file will be version-controlled, of course ;)))
Thanks for your answers!

svnadmin sanity check (was: Re: browsing repositories)

I suspect it would be pretty easy to do this as a sanity check. I don't
know if it's worth checking all grandparent/great grandparent etc.
directories to see if they are repositories, though.
I have not looked at the svnadmin code, though, so this is just a guess.
P.S. I've copied the dev list, since I think it's relevant.

Can/should svn prevent you from doing this?

The stuff in the repository is served up by mod_dav_svn. This module
does not show files in the Unix/Windows filesystem, but rather the
contents of the Berkeley DB files (which store the Subversion
"filesystem").
Subversion is not meant to have repositories within repositories. Doing
this is likely to confuse Subversion and/or Apache (or else do something
unexpected). Different projects should either be stored within a single
repository or you should have your repositories completely separate from
each other. Repositories should not be nested.
i.e. either: svnadmin create repos1 and then store in it:
proj1/{trunk,branches,tags}
proj2/{trunk,branches,tags}
etc.
or: svnadmin create repos1 and store in it:
{trunk,branches,tags} # For proj1
svnadmin create repos2 and store in it:
{trunk,branches,tags} # For proj2
etc.
or a combination of both.
DO NOT: svnadmin create repos1; svnadmin create repos1/repos1a
I hope this helps. :)

Have you considered using a single repository? You can then maintain a
directory structure within that repository to separate all your
modules/projects. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/html-chunk/ch04s07.html#svn-ch4-sect7.1

I thought, that the hierarchy withing the filesystem would always result
in the same hierarchy when browsing through repositories, i.e. browsing a
repository would make visible all "sub -repositories" (would be very
comfortable if you had several repositories, wouldn't it ?).
But sometimes the browser shows the "sub-repositories" and sometimes does
not and I wonder, how the html information is extracted from the
repository, that's all.

That's asking for trouble. Why did you do that?
