closing a repository
Hi
Is there any reason why svn copy shouldn't allow a repository (with all
history) to be cloned?
I was given this shortcoming in response to a pro-svn email I wrote, and
the point is valid.
Perhaps a specific 'svn clone' command could be implemented, and a repo
can have the config setting "AllowClones = yes"?
Regards
Mart.

Yes, that'd do nicely.

Sounds like what you really want is 'svnadmin dump' to become just
'svn dump' :-). I'm not sure how that would interact with our authz
system(s), but it could be done. I'm not sure how high a priority it
would be relative to other features, though, especially since you
could easily implement it with a server-side CGI script or other
workaround.

I suppose you could. If you have access to a repository (even just read
only) then you can view all the history and contents anyway. Why not
have a way of copying said repository to your local disk?

I guess part of me reacts to this by wanting to know:
Why don't you ask the administrator of the box to do it for you?
Just curious,
Best,

svnadmin only works on local repositories. Supposing the repo is only
available via http?
(The subject should have been "cloning" not "closing").

Actually, if the repository is live, shouldn't you use svnadmin hotcopy?

Why not simply copy the repository folder ?
cp -R repos repos-1
If you mean you're using this remotely, then using a combination of ssh,
bzip2 and svandmin dump/load, you'll be fine.
Hope that helps,
François
