Hi all,
I just wanted to let people know about my experiences with exporting
single files from subversion.
Although the solution is in the documentation if you know what you are
looking for, it took me quite long to isolate the problem. The warning
messages gave me little clue about what subversion was trying to do here.
Since even google didn’t come up with a good hit on this problem it might
just be a good information for some people.
Trying the following did not succeed:
Command: svn export
file:///D:/folder/someSvnRepos/reposFolder1/Hello.txt d:\
Result: svn: Can't move 'D:.tmp' to 'D:': The parameter is
incorrect.
If you do not export to a drive but to a sub-folder, the error message
changes.
Command: svn export
file:///D:/folder/someSvnRepos/reposFolder1/Hello.txt D:\folder
Result: svn: Can't move 'D:\folder' to 'D:\folder': Access is
denied.
Changing slashed didn’t do any good (as was not expected either ;-)
Command: svn export
file:///D:/folder/someSvnRepos/reposFolder1/Hello.txt D:/folder
Result: svn: Can't move 'D:\folder.2.tmp' to 'D:\folder': Access
is denied.
Finally the trick is to understand that export actually really exports
INTO the target location. So a file needs to be exported to a file and not
to a folder, while a source folder's content is exported into the target
folder, without creating the folder that is being exported itself.
Command: svn export
file:///D:/folder/someSvnRepos/reposFolder1/Hello.txt
D:/folder/0_Hello.txt
Result: A D:\folder\0_Hello.txt
Export complete.
Regards,
Alexander
