Create repository directories structure

svn co http://89.111.61.188/svn/repository1
cd repository1
mkdir myproject
mkdir myproject/tags
mkdir myproject/branches
mkdir myproject/trunk
svn add myproject
svn commit -m "add myproject"

Repository sample directories structure

myproject - subversion repository project
myproject/clientfiles - all files received from a client
myproject/docs - project related documentation, diagrams and other files
myproject - all project work here
myproject/trunk/myproject - my project
myproject/trunk/myproject/forms
myproject/trunk/myproject/services
myproject/tags
myproject/tags/0.1/myproject
myproject/tags/0.5/myproject
myproject/tags/1.0/myproject

Backup and Resore

Backup:

svnadmin dump /var/subversion/repository1 > repository1.dumpfile

Resore:

svnadmin load /var/subversion/repository1 < repository1.dumpfile Hotcopy (as direcotry): svnadmin hotcopy /var/subversion/repository1 /var/subversion/repository1-backup create local read-only repository mirror: svnsync initialize MIRROR_URL SOURCE_URL --source-password ARG --source-username ARG --sync-password ARG --sync-username ARG update mirror: svnsync synchronize DEST_URL

Redmain integration

Redmine is very power project management and team collaboration tool.

From Redmain install instruction (DO NOT FOLLOW IT!):

#find / -name reposman.rb


#ruby /opt/redmine-1.0.3/extra/svn/reposman.rb -f --redmine-host http://89.111.61.188:80/ --svn-dir /var/subversion/redmine --url file:///var/subversion/redmine/ --owner www-data



Configure like here:

- Go to redmine -> myproject -> settings -> Repository

- Type http://89.111.61.188/svn/repository1 + login + password
