Folder act as a repository and a checkout directory

[Olivier Tournaire <ol...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have a problem, and I do not know if there are any possibility to find an
answer. In my office we use a SVN repository for our source codes.
Sometimes, I have to work at home on this codes. So I use an external USB
hard drive to checkout the codes from the repository. Then I have to
transfer the codes on my computer at home.
What I want to konw is if there is any solution for the folder on my
external hard drive to act as a repository in order to check out from this
repository from my personnal computer.
For the moment, I have to copy manually all the modified files from my
external hard drive to my personnal computer. And, when I change something
on my computer, I have to do the job in the reverse way. It is very
confusing and I would like to find an issue to this.
Is there a way to do this ? With an other folder ?

Note that I installed a SVN server on my external hard drive.

Thanks for your answers

Olivier

Why can't you work directly on the copy on the USB drive wherever it is 
located?  That is, do the checkout from the work machine, take it home, 
make you changes directly on copies on the external drive, take it back 
to work and commit without any additional copying.

If you do want to keep an additional copy on you home computer, you 
might look at a 'unision' http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ as 
a syncronizing tool.  It works like rsync but keeps track of what has 
changed on each side for you.

It is possible in unison to ignore some items like all the ones with the
"obj" extension.

Won't unison synchronize them so a copy ends up there anyway?

Yet, it is a solution. But, as the source code is used to build a lib, I do
not want to have plenty of .obj files on my external hard drive. That is why
I prefer a solution like unison.

I have to agree with Les.  Just use the working copy from the external
drive.  It is much easier.

Not really, because I haven't needed to use SVK myself. But I've seen  
it recommended on this list many times. As I understand it, you have  
a central repository at work, say, but then you can get a clone of  
that repository to take home with you over the weekend. Then you can  
commit any number of changes to your local repository while you're  
away from the central repository, and send your commits back to the  
central repository when you're back in the office.

With just Subversion, you could certainly check out a working copy  
from the central repository and take the working copy home and work  
on it, but you couldn't commit; you'd have to just make edits at home  
and commit everything when you're back at the office. Difficult if  
you have many changes to make while away from the central repo.

I haven't used Unison so I can't tell you anything about how that  
compares.

Thanks to both of you. I have tried unison and it seems to be a good
solution.
Ryan, can you tell how can I use SVK for my purpose ? I would like to
compare before choose ...

You may want to look into SVK, which is based on SVN.
