RE: Subversion on windows using symbolic links

Hi Mike,

What do you think about the following steps ?

1. Leave hooks and conf directories for each project as they are.

2. In the hooks/pre-commit.bat, in each project repositories, include an absolute reference to a perl script (/repos/hooks/per-commit.pl) in a centralised location.

3. In the conf/svnserve.conf,in each project repositories, include an absolute reference to a centralised passwdb file password-db = /repos/conf/passwdb

The above approach, as I view it, will provide me the flexibility to have a single repository per project and at the same time minimise my administration work as I have only a single version of the password database and hooks.

I am reluctant to install the "NTFS Junction point" as I don't think any one is using it with Subversion. The above approach on the other hand fits neatly into the existing windows framework.

Thanks
Lakshman

Hi Lakshman

You can prevent the 'echo off' from being echoed by prefixing it with an '@' so making '@echo off' your first line of the bat file.

I am considering these matters at the moment for the same reason as you!

 Hi Roy,

Thanks for your feed back, unfortunately a bat file with a link (lnk) hangs if any output is printed on the console, including "echo off".
It appears a directory link is only recognised by windows explorer. It is treated as a file in a command window.

Am I the only one attempting this type of implementation on windows ? :(

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Lakshman

Hi,

        About the Hooks, I think you can create a bat file to point to the centralized hooks in each repo's hooks directory.
        About the conf directory, I've no idea. Hope someone else can get something good.

Regards,

Roy Dong

Hi All,

I installed Subversion on Linux and created a new repository for every project. I used symbolic links in Linux to centralise the hooks and conf directories.

Is there an equivalent in windows if not what is the alternative or work around to implement a single repository per project with centralised hooks and conf directories.

Thanks
Lakshman
