New SVN Server Access (and switching working copies)

The MODx SVN repository has been relocated to http://svn.modxcms.com:8000/svn/tattoo/ and is available for use. Everyone with an existing account should be receiving an email with their new account password (usernames will remain the same). If you do not receive one today, contact me tomorrow for a password.

Once you have received your password, and you want to start working with the new server, you will either need to get new working copies from the new URL, or you will need to perform an svn switch with the --relocate option, i.e. from the command line when located in the root of a working copy...

Note that {path} is the specific project path within the repository (i.e. tattoo/trunk/, tattoo/branches/0.9.6, etc.) that your working copy represents. The svn update command must follow execution of the relocate operation. Be careful not to mistype the path or you may have a difficult time recovering your working copy.

In TortoiseSVN, you can right click on the root directory of your working copy and select SVN --> Relocate... to perform this operation. Or in Eclipse using Subclipse, you can go to the SVN Repositories view and right click on the old repository URL, select Relocate... and it will perform the switch operation on all projects in your workspace related to that repository.

Cool! Got my SVN access to the new repository working okay.

Managed to screw up my working copy though - I knew I shouldn’t haven’t switched away from using Subclipse, I’ve been using Subversive and I clicked an option that I thought was what I wanted and managed to disconnect my project from the old repository and now I can’t just put my finger on that ’Connect it back up please’ option, lol.

No worries, I need to have a cleanup of my projects anyway (and I haven’t lost anything major in my working copy)

Just thought I’d post some links to the new Fisheye access ( http://svn.modxcms.com:8000/crucible/browse/MODx ) and Trac access ( http://svn.modxcms.com:8000/trac/tattoo ) to the new repository. Crucible, an extension to Fisheye that will allow team members to collaborate more effectively through the use of online peer code reviews, is not quite ready or accessible yet.

lol! click here!

Great!

Well it *does*, doesn’t it?

I’ll make that root link go somewhere more interesting when I get this stuff stabilized; probably just to the Trac site.
