hide projects in svn

Hello,

Is it possible to hide one or more projects in svn?

The projects will continue to be in the repository but not visible to
a user or group of users or all users.

The reason for this is that some projects in my company "take a break"
and i would prefer not to show them, neither in browser nor in tsvn.

If this feature is not there now, wouldn't be a nice one to have?


Thanks,
Daniel

You could delete that section of the repos. When you need it back,
just reverse merge it back in.

Well, it depends, because if the have read privilege in top directories,
the user will continue seeing the project.

Just simply remove write or read privilege for the project folder on every
user.

You could create a new top-level directory "suspended" or "on-hiatus"  
or "old" and then "svn mv" all those projects which are not currently  
being worked on into that directory. This is better than "svn rm"ing  
the project because it's easier to recover them later -- just "svn  
mv" them back where they came from. (If you "svn rm" it, you have to  
remember what revision you deleted it at in order to restore it later.)

Optionally, if you require it, you could configure it so that normal  
users do not have access to the contents of this directory,  
effectively hiding those projects. Now people would be aware that  
there are old projects, but not which old projects there are because  
they can't get into that directory.

AFAIK, there is no easy way to do it. As Greg mentioned you could delete it
now and reverse merge it when you actually need it.

That said, I am not sure why you want to totally hide a project just because
it is "taking a break". You could continue to keep it in the repository, and
may be add a post-commit hook to disallow write access to that directory, so
that no one accidentally writes to it. My 2c.
