Re: old repository backed up

See if you have a "svn" command or a "svnlook" command somewhere on the
system. This is indeed an SVN repository, and it's not human readable. If
you do find a svn command try this:

   $ svn ls -R file:///absolute/path/to/the/repository/directory

That will give you the output of all the files and directories in the entire
repository. You might want to capture that output into a file:

   $ svn ls -R file:///absolute/path/to/the/repository/directory >
output.txt

From there, you'll be able to see all the files that are stored in the
repository.

BTW, some of the directories are called "tags" and some are called
"branches". These are the branches and tags (labels) in the Subversion
repository. Branches and tags in Subversion are stored as if they were
simple directories.

Once you get a layout of what is in the repository, you can probably find
whatever you're looking for.

There's a great online manual about Subversion at http://svnbook.com. This
will help you understand how to use Subversion.
