Subversion Introduction:
Subversion is a software source code "Change Management" (CM) system for collaborative development. It maintains a history of file and directory versions. The files and directories are checked out of the repository and into your local project work area. This called your "working directory". Changes are made to files in your "working directory". After changes are made to the create the next working version, the files are checked into the Subversion CM repository.

Description List Subversion commands Help on given "command" Add a file or directory to Subversion CM control. Must also perform: s v nc if i l e n a m e(or s v n c o m m i t ) to upload the file or directory. File will not be available in the repository until a "commit" is performed. If adding a directory, the directory and all of its contents recursively are added. i.e.:

Switch your local working copy to mirror a new repository branch instead of main trunk or previous branch. Also allows you to point your repository to a new path on the server if the server path changes since you performed a check-out. Migrate all updates from Subversion repository to your local copy (recusively for all files in the current directory and all below it). If there have been updates to the svn repository since you downloaded the files, subversion will give you the opportunity to merge. Status of files will use the coding as stated above for "status". Files marked with a "C" (conflict) should be merged of reverted. If merged then one can perform a "resolve" and then a "check-in". If a file name is specified, only that file is updated. Can also syncronize to a specified revision given by -r. Use --ignore-externals to avoid the slow processing of externals to a potentially slow distant internet server.

Subversion Peg revisions:

Peg revisions are used so Subversion can find a previous version of a resource (file or directory) if its' location was different than it is now. Peg revisions are that extra hint Subversion needs to clear up ambiguity.
$s v nc o m m a n drO P E R A T I V E R E Vi t e m @ P E G R E V
The default peg revision is BASE for working copy items and HEAD for repository URLs. When no operative revision is provided, it defaults to being the same revision as the peg revision. The PEG-REV is specified if the resource (file/directory) in question use to appear in a directory which is no longer in the same place or no longer exists. The "peg-revision" must be specified so subversion can look at the directory in that revision so it can find the resource. If a peg revision is specified without an operative revision, then the operative revision is assumed to be the same as the peg revision. For more see: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.pegrevs.html
Subversion Properties:
1/31/2014
Files under revision control can include Subversion keywords which properties can be set with the "propset" command. Keywords are substituted with the Subversion properties and will not appear in the file until a commit is performed. Other properties are used to modify the behavior of Subversion. The following properties can be set on entities stored in Subversion: Property svn:ignore
s v ns t a t u s
Description A newline separated list of file patterns to ignore. List of files/directories to be ignored by
svn:keywords Valid RCS style keywords are: HeadURL - The URL for the head version of the object. Also: $URL$ LastChangedBy - The last person to modify the file. Also: $Author$ LastChangedDate - The date/time the object was last modified. Will appear as: $ L a s t C h a n g e d D a t e :2 0 0 5 0 7 2 22 2 : 0 2 : 3 70 7 0 0( F r i ,2 2J u l
2 0 0 5 )$
Also: $Date$ LastChangedRevision - Describes the last known revision. Will appear as: $ L a s t C h a n g e d R e v i s i o n :X X X $where "XXX" is the revision number. Also: $Rev$, Revision $Id$ - A compressed summary of the previous 4 keywords. Example RCS style comment
/ *$ U R L $ $ R e v $ $ A u t h o r $ $ D a t e $ $ I d $ * /
Example Output
/ *$ U R L : h t t p : / / s e r v e r / s v n / p a t h / f i l e . c p p$ $R e v : 2$ $A u t h o r : G r e g$ $D a t e : 2 0 0 6 1 0 1 21 4 : 3 1 : 8 40 4 0 0( T h u , 1 2O c t2 0 0 6 ) $ $I d : f i l e . c p p32 0 0 6 1 0 1 21 8 : 3 1 : 8 4 ZG r e g$ * /
To turn on keyword processing for $URL$ and $Rev$ set the property s v n : k e y w o r d sand commit the file. The property is not assigned until a commit is performed. Subsequent check-outs and updates will have substitution performed on the working file:
s v np r o p s e ts v n : k e y w o r d s" U R LR e v "s o u r c e f i l e . c p p
To turn this substitution off so that one can edit the original keywords. This also requires a check-in:
s v np r o p d e ls v n : k e y w o r d ss o u r c e f i l e . c p p
svn:executable Ensure file attribute is executable. Possible values: ON, OFF Example: s v np r o p s e ts v n : e x e c u t a b l eO Na p p . e x e svn:eol-style One of 'native', 'LF', 'CR', 'CRLF'. Specify and maintain specified line ending for text file. LF: Unix, Linux, standards based OS, proprietary legacy systems, etc. CRLF: DOS and Microsoft OSs CR: Response input scripts, etc Example: f i n d. /n a m e" * . h "e x e cs v np r o p s e ts v n : e o l s t y l eL F{ }\ ; svn:mime-type The mime type of the file:
t e x t / h t m l t e x t / c s s t e x t / p l a i n i m a g e / j p e g
... See file / e t c / m i m e . t y p e sfor a list of mime types.

1/31/2014
Examples:
s v np r o p s e ts v n : m i m e t y p et e x t / p l a i nf i l e . c p p s v np r o p s e ts v n : m i m e t y p et e x t / h t m lf i l e . h t m l
Web pages rendered from subversion will display as HTML source rather than as a web page unless this mime type is applied. svn:needslock svn:externals Prevents conflicts for files which can not be contextually merged. i.e. photos, binaries, object libraries. List of files or directories pointed to. Locate repository where directory specified should be retrieved. The directive p r o p s e tis not required:
s v np r o p e d i ts v n : e x t e r n a l sl o c a l t a r g e t d i r l o c a l t a r g e t d i rh t t p : / / s e r v e r / s v n / d i r r e m o t e l o c a l t a r g e t d i r / s u b d i rr # # #h t t p : / / s e r v e r / s v n / d i r r e m o t e 2 s v nu p d a t e s v nc o m m i t s v np r o p g e ts v n : e x t e r n a l s. /
The property applies to the directory. Subversion can not list or web browse svn:externals. Check-out ("co"), "export" and "log" can be performed. Must set environment variable "EDITOR", "SVN_EDITOR", "VISUAL" or set the Subversion configuration file (~ / . s u b v e r s i o n / c o n f i g ) attribute e d i t o r c m d . i.e.: e x p o r t
E D I T O R = v i
Note: Subversion 1.6 introduces file externals in addition to directory externals. The files however must reside in the same repository. Also, the file must point to a location which exists in your local working directory. [Potential Pitfall]: Apply svn externals to directories and not files. (version 1.4) [Potential Pitfall]: If generating a tag (branch), one should assign the revision number to the external link to truly snapshot the repository for that tag. This revision number should be specified in the tagged branch version of the svn external. [Potential Pitfall]: The revision numbers shown by s v ni n f owill reflect the version numbers of the repository in which the files are stored. If the files are imported via an svn external directory, the revision numbers will reflect that of the external repository which the external points to and thus from where the files were imported.

Subversion and Graphical diffs for Linux:

Three types of file differences are covered in this section: 1. Show file differences made since checkout was made. This shows the changes you have made. It is usefull to perform this before an update. 2. Show file differences between two files versions stored in Subversion. 3. Show differences / conflicts, choose and merge. Use our bash script svndiffwrapper which integrates into Subversion's file check-in process.
1) File differences since checkout:

The following scripts will allow you to view the changes you have made since checkout. Use the script before running "s v nu p d a t e " as an update will alter the file with diff chevron (>>>>) markers. After performing a "s v nu p d a t e ", use tkdiff, gtkdiff or kdiff3 as described below instead of the scripts: Use the following bash shell script to use the graphical diff tool "mgdiff" with Subversion. svndiff:

Use our bash script svndiffwrapper to perform this integrated task. By default, uses kdiff3 for diff tool. Can also specify your own choice of diff tool. Place the script in / o p t / b i n /for global use or $ H O M E / b i n /for private user access and set permissions so that script execution is allowed: c h m o du g o + x/ o p t / b i n / s v n d i f f w r a p p e r

Subversion Security Tips:

One should be aware of a possible Subversion client security hole. The Subversion client authentication will cache your login and password in your home directory in non-encrypted clear text. It will have file system security so others can not read the file however, it still is visible by root or by a root user of the file server if one is used for home directories. Here are three solutions to reduce this potential security vulnerability: 1. Don't allow Subversion to cache the password: s v nc o m m i tFf i l e . t x tn o a u t h c a c h e This will request a username and password but will not store it. 2. Set the Subversion configuration file on server to not cache:
[ a u t h ] s t o r e a u t h c r e d s=n o
3. Delete cached files when you logout. Reduces risk but does not eliminate it. This uses the bash shell logout script to perform a clean-up of the authentication files. File: ~/.bash_logout

Subversion utility commands and scripts:

1/31/2014
Command svnversion local-path svnchangesince svnlastlog svnlastchange svn-clean
Description This svn admin command will produce a compact version number for a working copy. Lists range of versions, adds "S" if switched, "M" modified. Shows the changes to the subversion repository since the local copy was last updated. Displays the last log message that pertains to the current working copy. Simplified svnlastchange. Displays the last log message and a unified diff of the changes made in the last commit. Removes all the files and directories that are not in Subversion.
Report Generation: Often one will have to generate a report or source list. The following awk script and command will generate a simple source version description report: File: s v d _ r e p o r t . a w k
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 B E G I N{R S = " " ; F S=" \ n " ; p r i n t f ( " % 7 5 s% 1 0 s% 1 0 s% 4 5 s \ n " , " P a t h " , " C u rR e v " , " L a s tR e v " , " L a s t C h a n g eD a t e " ) ;} / ^ P a t h : /{n 1=s p l i t ( $ 1 , p a t h , " : " ) ; n 2=s p l i t ( $ 6 , c u r R e v , " : " ) ; n 3=s p l i t ( $ 9 , l a s t R e v , " : " ) ; n 4=s p l i t ( $ 1 0 , c h a n g e D a t e , " :" ) ; p r i n t f ( " % 7 5 s% 8 s% 8 s% 4 5 s \ n " ,p a t h [ 2 ] ,c u r R e v [ 2 ] ,l a s t R e v [ 2 ] , c h a n g e D a t e [ 2 ] ) ;}
Command to generate the report: From working repository: s v ni n f oR*|a w kfs v d _ r e p o r t . a w k From SVN URL: s v ni n f oRh t t p : / / c m . m e g a c o r p . c o m / s v n / P r o j X / t r u n k|a w kf
s v d _ r e p o r t . a w k
The Subversion "info" command will generate a dump of information about all of the files under Subversion control recursively (-R) through all subdirectories. The AWK script will parse the output and generate a simple report. The AWK script views the Subversion output as an AWK record seperated by blank line where the content of each line is deliminated by the ":" (colon). For more information on AWK scripts, see the awk man page This can be used by a web bash CGI script SubversionSVD.cgi to perform this task via the web.
Subversion Best Practices:

ALWAYS compile and test before checking in source code. Subversion revisions should correspond to revisions which compile. Always add check-in comments. Nothing is more obnoxious that looking at a blank log or information history. Monstrous binary files like CD or DVD ISO images are better suited for storage on a file system rather than in Subversion. Subversion will not be able to show differences betwen version and will be slower than a raw filesystem. Don't copy, rename and move directories and files with system shell commands. Use Subversion commands to "rm", "mv", and "add" directories and files and then commit changes when done. Work within Subversion. Commit changes as a single logical changeset for one purpose. Thus all code changes for a single bug fix or enhancement should be checked-in together. This allows one to better follow the history log of changes. Check-in code at the directory level and all changed files, recursively in the directory and subdirectories will be checked in together.
s v nc im" C h e c k i nc o m m e n tg o e sh e r e ". /
13/16
1/31/2014
Check-in files together by specifying them explicitly:

s v nc im" C h e c k i nc o m m e n tg o e sh e r e "f i l e . c p pf i l e 2 . c p p. . .
Tie Bug tracking and Subversion CM together: Use comments when checking-in files into Subversion. Add bug tracking numbers to the comments so Subversion will reference Trac bugs. If using Trac, add trac comments so that links are generated to the Subversion repository by placing the Subversion revision number in square braces (i.e. [1140]) in a Trac comment. In this way, Trac will have a direct URL link to Subversion. If using Trac integrated with Subversion, refer to the Trac ticket in the Subversion check-in comment using a "#" in front of the Trac ticket number (eg. #65) This generates a hyperlink when the Subversion logs are viewed in Trac. Taking code from a Subversion repository for upload to another: Use "s v ne x p o r t " and NOT "s v n c o " if you want files for upload into another CM repository. A checkout (s v nc o ) will create Subversion management directories (. s v n / ) in the local working copy. You will not want to upload this directories into a CM system as they are only for the user's local working directory only. An "export" will not create this directory. The "tags" branches are NOT to be used as working branches but are snapshots of an existing branch. The "tags" are for historical reference such as a release, well tested version or progress milestone. Documentation and related artifacts should not be under the source tree but parallel to it. This isolates the source tree so that email notification triggers sent to developers upon source changes will only go out on source changes or regression build and test systems like Jenkins or Cabie will only rebuild and test on source changes rather than on unrelated documentation changes.
Tips:
Using Eclipse IDE with Subversion: Block Eclipse from viewing the hidden ".svn/" directories so that Eclipse does not intrude or alter their contents: Select the toolbar options: "Project" + "Properties" Select the "Java Build Path" + select the "Source" tab Select the "Excluded" item and select "Edit" In the lower half under "Exclusion patterns:" select "Add..." and enter the pattern **/.svn/* Note that SVN version 1.7 and later generate a single . s v n /directory at the top directory and no longer produce a . s v n /directory in each subdirectory.
