size of .svn/pristine directory

+2 votes
781 views

I noticed that the size of the .svn/pristine directory can get huge over time (several times the expected size). A "svn cleanup" solves the problem, but

  1. this isn't documented (I'm wondering how many users know that);
  2. this isn't automatic.

About (2), svn could warn the user when a cleanup could be needed. I don't know what is the best solution.

Is there a way to detect that current directory is the root of SVN repository by reading files into .svn directory?

Is there a way to detect that current directory is the root of SVN repository by reading files into .svn directory ? I think "svn info" could be used for that. Problem is that some machines may not have access to "svn" command line (if using tortoise and svn is not in command PATH for example).

In case "svn info" (or any other command line) is the only way, what would be the proper way to do it ?

Has anyone in here successfully integrated SVN with Active Directory for user authentication?

Has anyone in here successfully integrated SVN with Active Directory for user authentication? We are currently using FreeIPA and user account management is the bane of my existence. If anyone has or knows of any documentation for integrating Active Directory with SVN (preferably 1.9 since we are going to upgrade to that version) that would be much appreciated.

unversioned properties on SVN and size limitations?

Is there a limitation in size on the property value that can be set? Any scalability traps to be aware of (i.e. non-linear increase in time due to increase in size of the property value)? I tried a 4Mb property, seems to work fine...

SVN: File size different downloaded compared to uploaded

When downloading files from the SVN bash (.sh) files are always a little bit bigger than the original committed file.

This seem to only be relevant to bash scripts as far as I can see until now. Ziped files are not affected it seems.

Using notepad++ in windows to compare the files, notepad++ informs that the files are a match. Though doing a MD5sum shows different MD5 hash.

Afraid that it might give effects on finished applications built from the SVN repo, as well as maybe corruption in files.

Correct way to undo commit of a tag in SVN?

My most recent commit was the creation of a tag. I want to delete that tag. Should I reverse merge the commit or simply delete the tag?

If I do a reverse merge I see a tree conflict: 

C:>svn merge -c -69  

--- Reverse-merging r69 into '.': 

 C tagsTAG_ 

--- Recording mergeinfo for reverse merge of r69 into '.': 

U . 

Tree conflict on 'tagsTAG_ 

 > local dir edit, incoming dir delete upon merge 

Select: (r) mark resolved, (p) postpone, (q) quit resolution, (h) help:

What is the best thing to do here?
