Moving Repository Between Windows Machines

[tr...@clayst.com]

I have a single-user repository stored locally on Windows, svn 1.1.1, 
using fsfs.  It is small enough that it is practical to move from 
machine to machine across an Ethernet conenction.

Can I move it to my laptop, go work elsewhere, and copy back to the 
desktop when done, just by keeping the repository and working copy 
files synchronized?  Or do I have to do something with registry keys or 
other data to make this work?

Thanks,

Thanks.  As far as I know that is only true for fsfs -- I already tried 
it with bdb, with very poor results!

Actually I had considered that but didn't want to go to all the trouble 
of setting up a service.  If I do it I think I might be better off to 
just do it on the internal Linux box which I have here and use as a 
fileserver, and just run svn in full client-server mode.  So maybe I 
will move the repository for now, and set up svnserve when I have time.

Thanks,

There are no external dependancies in a repository. Pick the whole 
directory up and drop it where you want.

I don't know how much time you spend out doors with your laptop.
But if you have access to your desktop on a daily basis why nog use 
svnserve configured as a service. Then it's a simple matter of checking 
out the repository on your laptop from your desktop, go outside, do your 
thing, get back and comit your changes. When you want to do something 
with your desktop, same idea... Do an update and start working.

Setting up svnserve as a service is not that hard to accomplish and it 
could be well worth the effort.
