{{{ svn co --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/chans}}} |
| Line 24: | Line 16: |
| This allows the script to change the "Last Changed" times of the files to match the ctimes. |

| Line 27: | Line 18: |
| 3. check out a working copy of the repository: | Alternative way: |
| Line 29: | Line 20: |
| /path/to/wc $ svn checkout file:///path/to/repo/foo | {{{svn co svn+ssh://controls@nodus.ligo.caltech.edu/cvs/cds/caltech/svn/trunk/chans}}} |
| Line 31: | Line 22: |
| 4. add the files to the working copy, preserving their ctime stamps: | == A sample session == '''Task''': Making your own directory under trunk/docs/ and put a draft of your potentially Nobel prize winning paper. |
| Line 33: | Line 25: |
| /path/to/wc $ cd foo /path/to/wc/foo $ cp -a /path/to/oldfiles/ . |
|
| Line 36: | Line 26: |
| 5. run the included script [1] in the working copy root: | (1) Make your own directory in the repository. |
| Line 38: | Line 28: |
| /path/to/wc/foo $ svn_ctime_checkin | {{{svn mkdir --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir}}} |
| Line 40: | Line 30: |
| This will add all the files in the working copy to the repository, and change the SVN "Last Changed" timestamp for every file and directory to be that of the filesystem ctimes. |
(2) Check out the directory you just created. |
| Line 44: | Line 32: |
| 6. On every system where you want to checkout a working copy of the repository, uncomment or add the following line to the SVN client-side config file [2]: |
{{{svn co --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir}}} |
| Line 48: | Line 34: |
| ~ $ cat >> ~/.subversion/config use-commit-times = yes ~ $ |
(3) Change directory to the checked out directory. |
| Line 52: | Line 36: |
| This will tell the SVN client to set file ctimes to be the "Last Changed" time on checkout/update/etc. |
{{{cd mydir}}} |
| Line 55: | Line 38: |
| 7. Finally, checkout your working copy of the repository, and note that the original file ctimes are preserved. |
(4) Put your draft into the directory. |
| Line 58: | Line 40: |
| A. You might now want to go back and remove the unrestricted pre-revprop-change script, so that users can't change file properties in the future: |
{{{cp /somewhere/ProofOfEverything.tex . }}} |
| Line 62: | Line 42: |
| ~ $ rm /path/to/repo/foo/hooks/pre-revprop-change | (5) Put the file under the svn's control. |
| Line 64: | Line 44: |

SVN! aka, Subversion!
We are in the process of installing the 40m directory tree into SVN version control.
Using SVN in the control room
It is a secret. Use the method below even from the control room computers.
Getting files from off-site
There are two methods. Use the first method whenever possible.
Checking out trunk/chans directory
svn co --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/chans
The password is written in the standard place.
Alternative way:
svn co svn+ssh://controls@nodus.ligo.caltech.edu/cvs/cds/caltech/svn/trunk/chans
A sample session
Task: Making your own directory under trunk/docs/ and put a draft of your potentially Nobel prize winning paper.
(1) Make your own directory in the repository.
svn mkdir --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir
(2) Check out the directory you just created.
svn co --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir
(3) Change directory to the checked out directory.
cd mydir
(4) Put your draft into the directory.
cp /somewhere/ProofOfEverything.tex .
(5) Put the file under the svn's control.
svn add ProofOfEverything.tex
(6) Check it in to the svn repository.
svn ci -m "The first draft"
You have to put your comment after -m
(7) Update your working copy.
svn up
(8) Delete the file from the repository because you realized your paper is totally a bullshit.
svn delete ProofOfEverything.tex
svn ci -m "Oops, I was wrong"
However, your crappy paper can still be retrieved from the repository by requesting an old version, because all the history is recorded in the svn world.
