Creating a User in Svn using the bash Command
1) htpasswd -cm users sam
2) htpasswd -cm users chava
3) htpasswd -cm users veera
Importing a Folder to Repository in Svn (to checkout for later use)
1) svn import -m "Initial Import" local-directory-projectX http://server-name/svn/projectX
2)

Create a Subversion repository using the FSFS database format: (as root)
- mkdir /srv/svn/repos
- svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /srv/svn/repos
- chown apache:apache -R /srv/svn/repos
(The Apache web server running as user “apache” is the process owner which will be interfacing with the Subversion repository.) - SELinux security attribute assignment: (Red Hat EL4+, Fedora 3+)
restorecon -R /srv/svn/repos
Apache configuration file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
- This example performs no authentication:
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so - Required for Apache interface LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so - Required for "per-directory" access control <Location /svn> - URL path in web browser after "http://domain.com/" DAV svn SVNPath /srv/svn/repos - Local path on server filesystem </Location>
- This example authenticates to a local Apache user password file: User logins and passwords have no connection to user accounts.
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so <Location /svn> DAV svn SVNPath /srv/svn/repos AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/userpw require valid-user </Location>
Remove the line “require valid-user” to allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
Importing Directory of Files Into Subversion:
Subversion Repository on Server File system:
- /srv/svn/repos
Import directory of files into Subversion:
- Local directory to import into Subversion:
- projectX/trunk/...source code goes here...
- projectX/branches
- projectX/tags
- svn import -m "Initial Import" local-directory-projectX http://server-name/svn/projectX
The import will create the new subdirectory branch “projectX” in the repository.
Alternate directory creation method: (repository exists but the directories need to be generated)
- svn mkdir -m"Initial creation of trunk directory" http://svn-server/svn/projectX/trunk
- svn mkdir -m"Initial creation of branches directory" http://svn-server/svn/projectX/branches
- svn mkdir -m"Initial creation of tags directory" http://svn-server/svn/projectX/tags
Browser view of a typical repository directory schema:
- http://svn-server/svn/projectX/trunk: For the “HEAD”
- http://svn-server/svn/projectX/branches: For branches or “forks” in the code.
- http://svn-server/svn/projectX/tags: For tags identifying snapshots of milestones or significant releases.
Explanation of Subversion directories:
- /trunk : Contains the current development branch. New projects should be started here.
- /branches : A branch is just a special copy of the source tree within Subversion that started with a specific revision of the code. A branch is created by using “svn copy” of the trunk to a branch i.e. /branch/name_of_branch_1.0.
- /branches/personal : Personal branches are for doing some work which you don’t want to have interfere with the main trunk until it is working or better defined.
- /tags : This is a ethod of bookmarking or taking a “snapshot” of some work in progress.
- /releases : This is similar to “tags” except that this version of the code makes it to production. Names used here should match product release names. i.e. version_1.1
Avoiding false diffs due to “^M” in a cross platform environment:
The Microsoft development tools love to add a “^M” at the end of the line of every file they edit. This breaks UNIX shell script and causes many file difference tools to show a difference in a line of code. This can be avoided in a cross platform environment by telling Subversion that certain files (or all files) that no “^M”‘s should be appended at the end of a line. The trigger in fact removes the “^M” when the file is checked in. It can also be removed using the command dos2unix.
Import files to support no “^M” carriage returns at the end of lines:
(This sets file properties and creates a check-in trigger.)
- Remove “^M” from files: find local-directory -name "*.cpp" -exec dos2unix {} \;
- Upload directory of files into Subversion:
svn import -m "Initial Import" local-directory http://server-name/svn/projectX - Checkout files from repository: svn co http://server-name/svn/projectX/trunk
This creates your local working directory under Subversion control. - Set file properties such that “^M” are removed during check-in if added:
find ./ -name "*.cpp" -exec svn propset svn:eol-style LF {} \; - Apply property changes to repository: svn ci -m "Apply LF properties" local-directory
Note that the “propset” command must be used for new files added to the Subversion repository if they are to have these properties.
Users can also set this option in the file: $HOME/.subversion/config
