Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
Hi! I can't seem to get the formatting for my source repository
name--which is a Windows directory--correct for svnsync: I've tried forward
slashes and backslashes, quotes and no quotes, relative path and absolute
path--nada. My repository, in Windows syntax, is C:\MWDM--how do I specify
this as part of the source argument to svnsync? Thanks,
David Goldsmith

Well, earlier, you said:
> As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct?
So I take that to mean C:\MWDM is the working copy, not the repository. You need the repository URL. In response to your message, Bert Huijben gave instructions on how to find the repository URL:
> ‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the repository root.
However, it seems like you're still using file:///C:/MWDM as the repo URL, rather than the what svn info gave.

Yup, that was it: I wasn't trying to sync my repo, I was trying to sync my
wc; luckily, I'm cleaning out as much of my stuff as I can find and I found
a folder on my C: drive called SVN, and inside that, a folder called
Repo--when I used that for file:/// everything worked; of course, now it's
uploading the whole 1210 commit history one commit at a time! Ouch...I now
see why Bert said "w/ a bit little less time pressure." Well, I have a
meeting at two: hopefully it'll run long, and if it doesn't finish by the
end of that, I'll just leave my computer running as I run out the door! :-)
Thanks all!!!

This looks a pretty straight-forward error message; what does
dir C:\MWDM
show you?

Yes, svnsync should continue from the last revision recorded in the
revprops on revision 0 on the target. From your log, that would appear
to be revision 821; but I do suggest you verify that it is, and that
it's properly recorded in the r0 revprops:
svn info <mirror-url> | grep ^Revision:
svn propget --revprop svn:sync-last-merged-rev -r0 <mirror-url>
svn propget --revprop svn:sync-currently-copying -r0 <mirror-url>
svn propget --revprop svn:sync-lock -r0 <mirror-url>
Make sure that the revision reported by "svn info" and the one in the
svn:sync-last-merged-rev property are the same. Depending on the state
in which the command failed, you may have to clean up the
svn:sync-currently-copying and svn:sync-lock properties.

I'm pretty sure I am now...however, while I was away, I got:
Committed revision 821.
Copied properties for revision 821.
svnsync: E175002: MKACTIVITY request on
'/svn/!svn/act/d9a29da4-969c-9043-8d2b-1
fe43a60c2c2' failed: 500 Internal Server Error
svnsync: E175002: Additional errors:
svnsync: E175002: Error running context
svnsync: E175002: RA layer request failed
If I just run the command again, is it smart enough to resume where it left
off? Is there an (undocumented) command swich I can use to resume where it
left off? Is this even the kind of error I might hope to resume where it
left off? Thanks!

OK, now we're going in circles: what you cut and paste is what I've been trying, over and over again, to no avail (as I said in my OP, it didn't like the way I'm specifying my source folder.)

‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the repository root.
Assuming that you have access to the entire repository you probably want to sync from the repository root to an empty repository to have a local backup. (Look in http://svnbook.red-bean.com for details on how to setup the right hooks, etc)
And with a bit less time pressure you can then sync that to google code.

Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the first (or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also unfortunately, I'm away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I can't check my command history or the error message it generated).
As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming that's correct, my ultimate goal is to "relocate" my project, with history, to a new, empty Google code project (already created and reset)--how should I proceed: should I continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my existing repository (to which I'll never again have access after tomorrow), and if so, how do I find my repository from knowing where a working copy is ('cause, clearly, I've forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy from its root, and then check that out to any place else I want to be able to work on it--would such an upload include the history, and would Google Code recognize it?

Note that there are 3 forward slashes before the path because you want a blank
host entry.

RE: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync

Not sure how we got off list. But, I just used svnsync to move a repo to google code.. it was pretty easy. Just follow the instructions on their wiki page:
How do I import an existing Subversion repository?
To upload the history of an existing Subversion repository, use the svnsync tool that ships with Subversion 1.4 or later. Run svnsync help to read more about this tool.
Note that your Google Code repository must be reset to revision 0<https://code.google.com/p/support/source/detail?r=0> for this to work. Your project's Source tab will display instructions on how to reset the repository yourself. (Note: you must be a project owner to reset your own repository, and also to push code up with svnsync.)
Here's a sample transcript that demonstrates how you can push history from an existing repository (located at file:///my/repos) to your repository on Google Code:
$ svnsync init --username YOURUSERNAME https://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn file:///path/to/localrepos
Copied properties for revision 0.
$ svnsync sync --username YOURUSERNAME https://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn
Committed revision 1.
Copied properties for revision 1.
Committed revision 2.
Copied properties for revision 2.
[...]
When prompted for your password, use your googlecode.com password, which can be found on the settings tab<http://code.google.com/hosting/settings> of your profile page.
Running svnsync on a large repository will take a significant amount of time. If you are disconnected during the process, you may see the error message "svnsync: Couldn't get lock on destination repos after 10 attempts". If this happens, you can remove the lock yourself; see the "Locks" section of svnsync.txt<http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt>.

Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the first (or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also unfortunately, I'm away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I can't check my command history or the error message it generated).
As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming that's correct, my ultimate goal is to "relocate" my project, with history, to a new, empty Google code project (already created and reset)--how should I proceed: should I continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my existing repository (to which I'll never again have access after tomorrow), and if so, how do I find my repository from knowing where a working copy is ('cause, clearly, I've forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy from its root, and then check that out to any place else I want to be able to work on it--would such an upload include the history, and would Google Code recognize it? Please advise/help!
Thanks,
DG

Note that there are 3 forward slashes before the path because you want a blank
host entry.

Good point… our just use svnrdump to dump the repo… then you can take that file, load it into a repo on another machine and then sync that to google.

‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the repository root.
Assuming that you have access to the entire repository you probably want to sync from the repository root to an empty repository to have a local backup. (Look in http://svnbook.red-bean.com for details on how to setup the right hooks, etc)
And with a bit less time pressure you can then sync that to google code.
