I am trying to set up subversion on windows. I followed this blog (http://blog.codinghorror.com/setting-up-subversion-on-windows/) and did the setup as instructed, it was successfully installed i think, but i am stuck somewhere in-between while testing if it is working or not
After doing this :
set SVN_EDITOR=c:windowssystem32notepad.exe
svn mkdir svn://localhost/myproject
it opens up notepad and i modified and saved it and it was suppose to ask for credentials and all but it is showing some other messages.
I am not sure how to make it working. Am i doing something wrong ?
This can happen if you didn't save the commit message in notepad.exe. Press Ctrl+S and close Notepad. You should see authentication prompt after this step. If the server allows anonymous access then the commit should start without any additional actions.
I found the solution. This was down to a version conflict. I have Tortoise version 1.8 installed on my PC and I was downloading version 1.6 of Subversion.
Solution:
Subversion: SVN E160043. Expected FS format between '1' and '4
svnadmin create --compatible-version 1.6 PATHNAME
Fixed my problem.
As far as I know you have to save your message correctly. If you have to work with Windows/OSX parallely, be aware that you have to use different Shortcuts(Windows: Crtl+S OSX: cmd + S). Otherwise it should work, if the server allow access (as you're hopefully the admin)

I am new here and i will try to explain my question kindly ignore any mistakes.
I am using git version git-2.8.2
It worked fine for one day then this problem occurs.
I am using gcloud repository.
First I tried gcloud clone command then this error occurs
Then to make sure git is there I tired git command then this error occurs
Then I double check by opening git Bash but same error was there too.
I tried reinstalling changing directory. but nothing works.
I face the same problem after I try to avoid memory leak in Windows 10. If you happened to change the regedit like me, just type regedit in the search then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> ControlSet001 -> Services -> Null
change the value of Start to 1.
I accidentally bumped into the same problem when I was sorting out the services running on my computer with Windows 10.
fatal: open /dev/null or dup failed: No such file or directory
The reason was that I deleted the service named 'Null' that had no description as I thought that was a virus service.
Thus, when I found my git unable to operate, I reckoned the deleted service.
According to a solution provided on some site I tried to run the service again using cmd.exe
sc config Null start= system
sc start Null
but it said the service hadn't been existed in the list.
Thankfully, there are some kind folks who shares the information of the default services running on Windows 10 and the description necessary for the successful bringing back the service.
So as to get the service back in the list:
press Win + R
type regedit
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services section
Create Null folder and all the params it needs.
Restart your computer.
Now you got your Null service back and your git back as well.
Hope this helps.
I solved my problem accidentally. I would like to share it with everyone.
It was not a problem of git or gcloud or source tree.
Actually I have forcefully stooped windows update from installing which causes this problem.
Now when I install windows updates again this problem is fixed now.
Maybe this helps someone.
the similar situation in chrooted linux tree is fixable following way:
cd inside the folder where you are preparing the chroot dir, then
mount -o bind /dev dev/
then only chroot inside
I had this weird bug just now. I went back a dir and tried git init, it worked there.
I re-ran zsh and tried again in the dir it errored in originally and it worked. shrugs
We're using svn for version control on our Mac. Its working cool. But the only problem is we're multiple devs developing together and everyone can see any file changes status inside their Xcode ( attributes next to the file ) in their Xcode except me. How to resolve this?
This is what I want (see "M" next to the file name),
Even Xcode Source Control Menu is showing no changes.
I'm not sure if there's anything to set here?
I have checkout the code again and again, but still the problem persist.
I'm not sure, why this "Working Copies" menu "iOS" is disabled? Its enabled on other machine.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I also encountered this problem, the following is my solution, hope I can help you.
Start the terminal, enter the code in the folder.
Type the command - svn status.
The output will be similar to this
svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command
svn: E155036: The working copy at '/Users/chao/svn/project'
is too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.9.4 (r1740329)' (expects
format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first.
Type the command - svn upgrade.
The problem is resolved,I wish you good luck.
SVN can define status of working copy files and directories comparing your local files with the current repository located on the remote SVN server.
I believe that checking "Refresh server status automatically" will do the job.
You can say this is true when your local files will have attributes aside (U, M etc)
Having no luck, you may run the command line tool, which is usually more verbose. More details here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19922150/195812
I've recently set up a Bazaar repo on my FTP server (only access I have to back end, please don't go into reasons why I shouldn't use FTP).
I have managed to get everything working with short cuts such that I can include user and pass in the ftp URL:
ftp://"user":pass#host/path
Though I am trying to set up script that I can commit from a local directory with a batch file. The issue is I still require to put in the password everytime.
bzr commit "E:\Ryan - Backup\Other\test" -m batched
I had a crack at using the authentication.conf file but it either didn't work for me in this situation or I was doing it wrong. I placed the file in the .bzr folder so it was located at:
E:\Ryan - Backup\Other\Test\.bzr\authentication.conf
With the contents being:
# Identity on foo.net
[site]
scheme=ftp
host=site
user=username
password=pass
Am I doing something wrong or would I have to create a plugin to do what I am after.
P.S End result was to run a batch at startup and shut down so I could sync file updates between my computers.
UPDATE: I also tried the
guide that describes the location of:
C:\Users\rfleming\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0
for the authetication.conf file, this didn't work either
UPDATE 2: Placing the authentication.conf into the:
C:\Users\rfleming\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0
Worked fine and I just ended up using checkout and push for syncing and no manually password typing was required!
I'm trying to set up a scheduled Subversion commit from Windows Server 2003 machine over SVN+SSH as a task. I'd like the commit script to be executed as SYSTEM-user. So I'm guessing, for that to work I need to check-out the repository as SYSTEM, too - but am unable to achieve it so far.
I'm already able to achieve the above with my own user over SSH. I've done the following:
I added a [tunnels] entity in my local subversion configuration:
ssh = plink.exe -i "C:/Keys/my_key.ppk"
Added the key to the authorized_keys file on the server running Subversion
I checked out the repository with a script as below:
svn co svn+ssh://user#server/path/to/repo/ C:\Local\Project\Path
I'd now like to reproduce the above steps for SYSTEM user, to be able to run a scheduled commit later. The problem I'm facing is I don't know how to check out the repository as SYSTEM, because:
I don't know the syntax to use to check out a repository as SYSTEM
I don't know where the global (or SYSTEM's) Subversion config is stored on a Windows Server 2003. I've already tried: C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Subversion and C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Subversion, but without success.
I also read somewhere I possibly could use svn switch for what I want, but wouldn't know how to svn switch as SYSTEM. I also considered writing scripts for svn check-out or switch and running them as SYSTEM, but then I still need global SVN config to add my_key.ppk, too.
I hope the above description is clear enough. I've been struggling with it for a long time now and am having problems summarizing it myself. Any hints appreciated.
As a side, that doesn't seem to be totally off-topic: https://serverfault.com/q/9325/122307
This is not a real answer to your question, yet it might solve your problem: Why not use svn <command> --config-dir ARG or svn <command> --config-option ARG?
You could specify the config file/option like this, thus being able to set [tunnels].
#cxxl really answered on question, when mentioned --config-dir. I'll just try to shed some light on problem
I'm guessing, for that to work I need to check-out the repository as SYSTEM
Wrong and bad guessing, because stored locally user's auth data doesn't used in case of SSH-auth, for ssh remote authentication performed. Per-user auth-dir
\%AppData%\Subversion\auth>dir /W
...
[svn.simple] [svn.ssl.client-passphrase]
[svn.ssl.server] [svn.username]
...
contain stored credentials only for http|https|svn and cert-based client authentication, and nothing for ssh-related repositories
I.e your executed under LSA script must be able to
* read Working Copy files (checkouted under any other real local user), maybe write (can't recall requirement for .svn dir permissions)
* read and, thus, use predefined and fine-tuned Subversion's config files (tunnel section), which can be config of any other user
PS: swn switch change linked URL of repository for Working Copy and have nothing common with users
I'm using CollabNet Subversion Edge on Windows 2008 … and trying to auto-deploy (so update from repo to folder) when any commits are made by developers using Tortoise SVN.
I've got a post-commit hook file in the correct repo /hooks folder. The file is named post-commit.bat
The file has one line -
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\tortoiseproc.exe" /command:update /path:"c:\wamp\www\thewebsite*" /closeonend:1 /outfile:"c:\csvn\update-logs\thewebsite-out.txt"
When I commit anything, it's timing out if I have the file present. If the file is not present, the commits work without any problem. So that tells me the post-commit file is being called … and it's got a problem!
Anyone got a sample post-commit Windows batch file that can help me? Or know how to solve my particular problem?
You should try testing your script by simply calling it from the command line and passing in the repo and version parameters. This might give you some more insight as to why it is timing out. For example:
script.bat PATH_TO_REPO REPO_VERSION
Also instead of using Tortoise, use the native SVN client library. In your script you can navigate to the folder you want to update, and call the "svn update" command. This will be more straightforward and not have to go through Tortoise just to make the update command back to the native library.
Try something like this:
cd "c:\wamp\www\thewebsite"
svn update
If your SVN server requires permissions you may need to pass these in your script as well.
