Creating SVN repository for source code ...
Hi All.
I want to create a repository which will contain Source Code of our
project.
Subversion produces an image of the whole repository whenever any change
is made to the repository. (Unlike VSS which keeps version information per
file basis).
I have two doubts..
1) If at all I need to check the previous version of a particular file
then how will
I locate it? As its not necessary that , that file was edited and commited
to the previous Revision .
Is there a way to locate file's previous version's Revision Number?
2) Also, there would be file commits to the repository on daily basis by
our developers. Source code is huge containing so many files with 40
developers in team.
Each and every commit would give birth to a new Revision. So , there would
be so many Revision files.
I wanted to ask if there are any limitations on number of Revisions an SVN
repository can keep?
We need to network our repository. I am planning to use Subversionaware
Apache Server having SVN 1.4.3 + Apache2.2.4 with FSFS backend.
OS is Windows 2003 Server.
Presently we are using Visual Source Safe(VSS) for version control. We
need to port existing VSS database to the SVN.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Swati

The repository only appears to have a complete new copy after any
change. It really only stores the differences. And in the typical
case where you check out a copy, then update to pick up the changes
committed from a different working copy, only the differences are
transferred.

What do you mean "Subversion produces an image of the whole repository"?
I mean it creates Revision which reflects state of the filesystem tree at
that time.

Use svn log on the file. That will show ou all changes (and all
revision numbers) of just that file.
OK . Thanks, I will check that command........

I don't think there are any limits you need to worry about. See for
example the Apache group's repository, which has over 500,000
revisions already.

Ya I checked that... thanks a lot Ryan, you relieved my one big
tension..many thanks to you.

Take a look at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ you'll find everything you
need to know in there.

This has been answered in a previous thread started by you called "Are
there any size constraints for a SVN Server?". If the answer didn't
satisfy you it is unlikely that you will get any new information if you
do not specify in which way the answer didn't satisfy you.
