Recipe to populate empty SVN repository with files, preserving ctime
stamps:
== Using SVN in the control room ==
You can access the svn repository from the control room computers by something like {{{svn co file:///cvs/cds/caltech/svn/trunk/}}}. However, it is strongly discouraged to do so unless you are absolutely sure about what you are doing. Use the method below even from the control room computers.
Line 12: Line 8:
1. create an empty repository: == Getting files from off-site ==
There are two methods. Use the first method whenever possible.
Line 14: Line 11:
/path/to/repo $ svnadmin create foo Checking out trunk/chans directory
Line 16: Line 13:
2. add an "unrestricted" pre-revprop-change script to the repository
hooks directory [0]:
{{{ svn co --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/chans}}}
Line 19: Line 15:
/path/to/repo $ cat > foo/hooks/pre-revprop-change
#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
USER="$3"
PROPNAME="$4"
ACTION="$5"
/path/to/repo $ chmod 755 foo/hooks/pre-revprop-change
The password is written in the standard place.
Line 28: Line 17:
This allows the script to change the "Last Changed" times of the files
to match the ctimes.
Alternative way:
Line 31: Line 19:
3. check out a working copy of the repository: {{{svn co svn+ssh://controls@nodus.ligo.caltech.edu/cvs/cds/caltech/svn/trunk/chans}}}
Line 33: Line 21:
/path/to/wc $ svn checkout file:///path/to/repo/foo == A sample session ==
'''Task''': Making your own directory under trunk/docs/ and put a draft of your potentially Nobel prize winning paper.
Line 35: Line 24:
4. add the files to the working copy, preserving their ctime stamps: (1) Make your own directory in the repository.
Line 37: Line 26:
/path/to/wc $ cd foo
/path/to/wc/foo $ cp -a /path/to/oldfiles/ .
{{{svn mkdir --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir}}}
Line 40: Line 28:
5. run the included script [1] in the working copy root: (2) Check out the directory you just created to your machine.
Line 42: Line 30:
/path/to/wc/foo $ svn_ctime_checkin {{{svn co --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir}}}
Line 44: Line 32:
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.
(3) Move to the checked out directory.
Line 48: Line 34:
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]:
{{{cd mydir}}}
Line 52: Line 36:
~ $ cat >> ~/.subversion/config
use-commit-times = yes
~ $
(4) Put your draft into the directory.
Line 56: Line 38:
This will tell the SVN client to set file ctimes to be the "Last
Changed" time on checkout/update/etc.
{{{cp /somewhere/ProofOfEverything.tex . }}}
Line 59: Line 40:
7. Finally, checkout your working copy of the repository, and note
that the original file ctimes are preserved.
(5) Put the file under the svn's control.
Line 62: Line 42:
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:
{{{svn add ProofOfEverything.tex}}}
Line 66: Line 44:
~ $ rm /path/to/repo/foo/hooks/pre-revprop-change (6) Check it in to the svn repository.
Line 68: Line 46:
Here is the test that I ran that demonstrates that it works: {{{svn ci -m "The first draft"}}}

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.

SVN! aka, Subversion!

The SVN repository is set up in /cvs/cds/caltech/svn. Do not try to modify or put anything on the directory.

Using SVN in the control room

You can access the svn repository from the control room computers by something like svn co file:///cvs/cds/caltech/svn/trunk/. However, it is strongly discouraged to do so unless you are absolutely sure about what you are doing. 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 to your machine.

svn co  --username svn40m https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/docs/mydir

(3) Move 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.
