How To Files From Svn Repo

Active10 months ago

Using svn to delete a file from your working copy deletes your local copy of the file, but it merely schedules the file to be deleted from the repository. When you commit, the file is. When the program is installed, go to the folder where you want to keep the language technology files (e.g. My Documents ). In that folder, right-click with the mouse on an empty spot in the folder. You will note that the context-sensitive menu has some additions in the middle, where it reads SVN and something. Choose the SVN Checkout. Then right click the folder and check it out to the location where you want it. Then copy the directory of files you want to put into SVN into the folder created by the checkout. Then right click teh folder and select 'SVN Commit.' As an example, let's say I have a directory: C: MyStuff that I want to put into SVN.

I am using SVN and have a repository on a remote machine. Sometimes, when working on my local machine I realize that I need to add some new files to the repo. The usual procedure I know would then be:

  1. at the current folder on my local machine checkout the whole SVN repo
  2. enter there
  3. copy the interesting file here
  4. commit

But this can be a bit tedious. I wonder if somehow, I can omit steps 1 to 3 and import the 'interesting' file to SVN directly without necessity of checking out the repo first?

  1. In the check for modifications dialog, first shift click on the button Check repository. The dialog will show all the files and folders which are in the repository but which you have not checked out as remotely added. Right click on the folder(s) you would like to add to your working copy, then use →.
  2. Hell with it, just include the svn-external folder of code in your new repo and move on. Push the migrated code to the new home Add the destination as the origin remote for the local project, say github.com in this case and push all those branches and tags.
  3. If you want to copy files/folders, you can either. Check out from repo 1, copy the working files/folders and add them and check them into repo 2 (like any other content),. Dump the files/folders with history and load them into another repository. See for example How to copy SVN repository as a folder to another repository with history.
  4. Checking Out Files from Subversion Repository. By checking out files from a Subversion repository, you obtain a local working copy of the repository, which you can edit.After making the necessary changes, you can publish the results by committing, or checking in your changes to the repository.

Perhaps svn import is what you want ? Check the documentation for details.

You can checkout only the folder where the new files go, add the new files and commit.

Seems to me like what you're doing is dangerous. If you don't update from SVN first and re-compile the code, you might be introducing bugs or break the build. Maybe the interface of that class you're using has changed in the repository!

Following worked beautifully for me:

Files
  1. Log into Linux machine with the user containing access to the svn repository.
  2. Create a new directory e.g. 'cwo_tracking' that needs to be added in svn
  3. Now just ensure the svn tool is installed and has 'import' option in it.Run

    svn import --help

  4. Now check the complete HTTPS URL of the SVN directory under which you want to add the new file/folder e.g. https://SVN_HOST/REPO/PROJECTS/PARENT. For us it is PARENT which should have 'cwo_tracking' folder added after we are done checking in.

  5. In your present working directory containing 'cwo_tracking' named empty folder, run

    svn import cwo_tracking https://SVN_HOST/REPO/PROJECTS/PARENT/cwo_tracking

  6. This should open a editor to enter comment. Put a relevant comment e.g. 'Adding new dir for cwo tracking project', save and exit.

  7. Once you save the comment it might ask you for password. If it does, Enter that and If it asks you to save your Password, type no.

  8. It should show something like -

    Committed revision 735.

  9. Now open a Web Browser and go to the URL you typed into the import command

That should open a page. This is the one you added!
