Re: Sourcesafe to SVN Conversion Questions

Scott,

If you separate the build output (execuables and debugging symbols
etc.) from the source tree, that may make your life simpler:

- use a network file share to distribute/make available these build
products (make sure at least one of the build products indicates what
branch and revision was used to create the build
- developers then use TSVN to *Update* their local copies of the
source tree to whatever revision they need to work on (usually HEAD),
or they *Switch* to the right branch if needed

- if you want to permanently keep copies of the daily builds (which
should not be necessary as all stuff required to reproduce them should
already be versioned), then you could place them in a -- possibly
separate -- repository. Developers could access these builds via a
second working copy pointing to the build-repository (or place it
somewhere in the source working copy using svn:external).
However, as the build products are mostly binaries, each version will
be stored completely in the repo (opposed to just the diff for
text-based files). This will quickly bloat the repository size.

HTH

Regards,

Jean-Marc
