We have configured the Apache server successfully, now we will configure the repository. Conventionally, every Subversion project has trunk, tags, and branches directories directly under the project's root directory.
The trunk is a directory where all the main development happens and is usually checked out by the developers to work on the project. The tags directory is used to store named snapshots of the project. When creating a production release, the team will tag the code that goes into the release. Let us create the trunk, tags, and branches directory structure under the project repository. This is done! We have successfully created the repository and allowed access to Tom and Jerry.
From now, they can perform all the supported operations to the repository. The life cycle of a Version Control System is discussed in this chapter. In later chapters, we will see the Subversion command for each operation. The repository is a central place where developers store all their work. Repository not only stores files, but also the history about changes.
Which means it maintains a history of the changes made in the files. The 'create' operation is used to create a new repository. Most of the times this operation is done only once. When you create a new repository, your VCS will expect you to say something to identify it, such as where you want it to be created, or what name should be given to the repository. Working copy is a private workplace where developers do their changes, and later on, submit these changes to the repository.
As the name suggests, 'update' operation is used to update working copy. This operation synchronizes the working copy with the repository. As repository is shared by all the teams other developers can commit their changes and your working copy becomes older.
Let us suppose Tom and Jerry are the two developers working on a project. Both check out the latest version from the repository and start working. At this point, their working copies are completely synchronized with the repository. Jerry completes his work very efficiently and commits his changes to the repository.
Now Tom's working copy is out of date. After the checkout, one can do various operations to perform changes. Edit is the most common operation. Delete operation immediately deletes file from the working copy, but actual deletion of the file is added to the pending change-list and changes are made to the repository after the commit operation.
When you check out the working copy or update the working copy, then your working copy is completely synchronized with the repository. But as you do changes to your working copy, it becomes newer than the repository. And it is a good practice to review your changes before the 'commit' operation. As we have mentioned before, whenever you do changes in the working copy all these changes become a part of the pending change-list. And the 'status' operation is used to see the pending change-list.
One can use diff operation to view the details of the modifications that have been made to the working copy. Let us suppose one has made changes to his working copy, but now, he wants to throw away these changes.
In this situation, 'revert' operation will help. Revert operation reverts the modifications that have been made to the working copy.
Also it is possible to revert the whole working copy. In this case, the 'revert' operation will destroy the pending change-list and will bring the working copy back to its original state. Conflicts can occur at the time of merging. Everything else is considered as conflict.
For example, "hello. Such a situation requires a person to make the decision. The 'resolve' operation is used to help the user figure out things and to inform VCS about the ways of handling the conflicts. This operation modifies the repository and other developers can see these changes by updating their working copy.
This is the place where changes wait to be committed. With commit, we usually provide a log message to explain why someone made changes. This log message becomes a part of the history of the repository. Commit is an atomic operation, which means either the entire commit succeeds or it is rolled back.
Users never see half-finished commit. Subversion provides the checkout command to check out a working copy from a repository. Don't bother about the repository URL, as most of the time, it is already provided by the subversion administrator with appropriate access.
After every successful checkout operation, the revision number will get printed. If you want to view more information about the repository, then execute the info command.
Jerry checks out the latest version of the repository and starts working on a project. He creates array. He compiled and tested his code and everything is working as expected, now it is time to commit changes. Subversion is showing '? A decent feature set and represent excellent value for money.
GitHub - Unlimited Collaborators and Repositoriesbut you must pay for provate ones. GitHub is greate for opensource projects. CollabNet Subversion Edge - Most feature, is free, opensource and actively developed by the founders of Subversion CollabNet CollabNet Subversion Installation Security Settings change the admin username and password to something complex especially if you are going online with this. Theses instructions assume you have a cpanel account create a dynamic-IP account i used NOIP because they are free and my router supports them configure your router or PC client as appropriate to correctely update your IP to your dynamic-IP provider create a dynamic domain.
I use a random domain to prevent hackers scanning the free domains for potential targest ie. To fix that do the following edit your 'hosts' file as administrator add the following line If the domain drguosdhlkkjsad If you wanted you do not need to add the cPanel DNS step in, you could use a sensible domain from a Dynamic-IP provider and use that domain to configure all of your software directely.
You will have to allow any SSL Certificate prompts that appear because you will be using effectively a different domain than localhost Hostname in WebAdmin in server setting it might be advantageous to change the Hostname to match your new domain, svn.

The command-line utility called svnadmin is the primary tool for server-side administrative operations.
Access to the repository is controlled by file permissions and the user referenced for accessing the repository through the SVN client. Ensure that user and group permissions for all files in the new repository reflect the type of access control that you want to have over the repository contents. By default, anonymous, read-only access is enabled for a new repository.
This means that anyone with SSH access, regardless of repository permissions settings, can check out repository files. Now that you have created a repository, you can use the Subversion client to perform standard operations against the new repository by using the following base URL:.
Refer to the Subversion documentation for information on how to configure other protocols. Although Subversion does not require any particular subdirectory structure within a repository, it is a good idea to follow an established convention, as this book does. The typical repository layout should resemble the following figure:. Development of the main code line occurs in the trunk directories. When a release is made, the current trunk source is copied into the tags directory, to a tag corresponding to the release.
Subversion copy operations are not expensive in terms of storage because the server tracks changes internally. In the preceding example, 3. A tag is important for future work that might be necessary for patch creation or bug-fix releases. Another importance of a release tag is to facilitate investigation regarding issues in the associated release. If a patch or subsequent change of a tag is considered necessary, then you must create a branch. A branch is a copy of a location elsewhere in the repository and does not differ in composition from a tag.
After a copy of the tag is made under the branches directory, you can check out the code and modify it as necessary. When changes are complete, the new release is made from the branch and a corresponding tag is created. The current version developing under the trunk directory is version 2. The three previous releases of Project-A are 1. A problem is discovered in version 1. The release build can then be made from the tag.
