rajeshkumar created the topic: Copy only certain SVN revisions from one repositor
To extract a set of revisions (nn to mm) from a repository:
svnadmin dump –incremental -r nn:mm /path/to/repository > /path/to/dumpfile.svn
The –incremental option allows you to merge this set of changes without bringing the entire baseline along with the import.

To apply those revisions to a repository:
svnadmin load –ignore-uuid /path/to/repository < /path/to/dumpfile.svn The --ignore-uuid option allows the import to strip out uuid information from the source repository. I would restrict this operation to repositories with a common revision heritage otherwise the load would probably fail. Regards, Rajesh Kumar Twitt me @ twitter.com/RajeshKumarIn

amitanand123 created the topic: Integrate Bugzilla with SVN
I need to integrate Bugzilla with SVN and for this i found a tool called SCMBUG.
I am facing problem while committing any code
Problem is
Command: Commit
Modified: D:\Tools\LogTablePurger\branches\abc\cm.txt
Sending content: D:\Tools\LogTablePurger\branches\abc\cm.txt
Completed: At revision: 1477
Error: post-commit hook failed (exit code 9) with output:
Error: Can’t call method “error” on an undefined value at /var/svn/repositories/LG/hooks/lib/scmbug/Scmbug/Common.pm line 221.

I have checked Common.pm and comment the code
# $logger->error( $error_string );
(which is not a right approach as we need to catch the error log message)

OR

Anyone suggest me any other tool to integrate Bugzilla with SVN

Thanks in advance

vijayakumar.cm created the topic: SVN query for auto merging!!!
I need a solution for this auto merging strategy in SVN.

My directory structure:
Two branches:
/main_branch/sourcecodefiles
/build_branch à copy of a main branch

è Development happens only in main branch
è no one will commit in build_branch

My Requirement is: Whenever commit happens in main_branch , it should automatically merge the changes in to build branch (i.e it has to merge the changes and commit a new version of it)

There is no need for reverse merging since no changes will get committed in build branch, also it reduces the risk of merge conflicts.

Please let me know if anyone already has solution for this.

Regards,
Vijay

SVN is not much smart enough in case of conflict.

if conflict arises you will have to do manually.

svnmerge.py will do it but you should write a shell script it will call that svnmerge.py tool once check in happened u can call this script by continuous integration server like Hudson

Hi,

I have done the successful migration form CVS to SVN,now i need to migrate few projects from Clearcase to SVN. Could anyone please give some ideas on this?

Thanks,

rajeshkumar replied the topic: Re:ClearCase to SVN migration
There were a couple of relevant talks at SubConf:

MM4: Lutz Dornbusch, Polarion: Zero Downtime Migration to Subversion
www.subconf.de/fileadmin/PDF_Dateien/Sub…onf_2008/Vortraege/L
utz_Dornbusch-Zero_Downtime_Migration.pdf

Both were well received from what I saw, but I think our approach covers
more options – but then I would say that 🙂

Button replied the topic: Re: ClearCase to SVN migration
Hi Vjay,

Been looking to do something similar myself (migrate from clearcase to subversion that is), and I’ve evaluated a number of tools out there, but all of them appear to have their gaps. The best one I’ve seen so far is www.clearvision-cm.com/clearcase-subversion-migration.html but before purchasing it, I thought I’d check to see which one you used (seeing as this is a fairly old topic now) incase there are any I havn’t seen yet. That one seems pretty complete from what I can tell, but what with it being all our company data I want to make sure I haven’t missed anything

Integration of Subversion with Bugzilla is possible using Scmbug, a system providing generic integration of Source Code Configuration Management with Bugtracking. Scmbug is available at freshmeat.net/projects/scmbug/ .

How to proceed in merging two svn branches. Is there any plugin or should we go with scripting.

Can anyone give me idea on this.

I used to do manual merge in svn or use svn merge command.

rajeshkumar created the topic: trunk vs branch vs tag in subversion or SVN
Difference between trunk, branch and tag in SVN, CVS or Subversion
Technically all three i.e. trunk, branch and tag are folders in SVN. If you are using tortoise SVN, a popular windows client for subversion, you can explore trunk, branch or tag. If you browse SVN repository using Repo browser or simply open it on any browser e.g. Internet explorer, you will generally see three directories as trunk, branch and tags at root of project. This is actually one of SVN best practice to create this kind of directory structure. As I said earlier, trunk is place where main development happens, and branches are places where different developer work on different functionalities. This division is purely based on how programmer uses trunk and branches. Similarly, tags are used to backup releases e.g. alpha release or beta release or any version of release. Main difference between branch and tag in subversion is that, tag is a read only copy of source code at any point and no further change on tag is accepted, while branch is mainly for development. Other source control like CVS doesn’t allow modification on tags but SVN allows changes on tags, which is considered as bad practice. You should not be making any change on tag once created, it should be treated as read only copy of source code only for restore purpose.

In short
– A trunk in SVN is main development area, where major development happens.
– A branch in SVN is sub development area where parallel development on different functionalities happens. After completion of a functionality, a branch is usually merged back into trunk.
– A tag in SVN is read only copy of source code from branch or tag at any point of time. tag is mostly used to create a copy of released source code for restore and backup.

That’s all on difference between trunk, branch and tags in Subversion or SVN. They are mostly categorized based upon there usage. Though trunk, branch and tag are quite common words in source control, and other SCM also uses these words, there behavior may be little different on other SCM, so don’t forget to check SCM documentation.
