Hello
I'm trying to figure out how to use the import command in a windows
environment. I'm reading the book but the documentation is unclear as
is the help. Perhaps someone can clarify it for me.
For example the help says:
Import [PATH] URL
I need to import from one path to another. A path can also be referred
to as an URL. However when both terms are used in an example then that
implies a difference. What's the difference? Or is there none? I see
no explanation anywhere. Too bad neither the help nor the book explain
what the command expects.
I wish to add some files to their own folder called iERP_v2 under the
Repositories (shared) folder but can't find any information on that at
all. How do I create a folder? From the server? Is there a command?
Will import do it?
The svn server lives on host Vm006 which I also mapped to drive s. A
repository exists (called Repositories) with folders in it that I
created with VisualSVN. Unfortunately VisualSVN is inadequate for our
needs so I need to learn the archaic commands. The code I wish to
import lives on a mapped network drive; g. I tried issuing the command
from the directory where the files reside:
\\Vm006\Repositories Fails Invalid URL
'//vm006/Repositories'
//Vm006/Repositories Fails Invalid URL
'//vm006/Repositories'
\\Vm006\$e\Repositories Fails Error resolving case of
'\\Vm006\$e\Repositories'
//Vm006/$e/Repositories Fails Error resolving case of
'\\Vm006\$e\Repositories'
s:\Repositories Fails Invalid URL 'S:/Repositories'
s:/Repositories Fails Invalid URL 'S:/Repositories'
s:\Repositories\iERP_v2 Fails Invalid URL
'S:/Repositories/iERP_v2'
s:/Repositories/iERP_v2 Fails Invalid URL
'S:/Repositories/iERP_v2'
Then I tried changing directories to the SVN server but received the
same results.
svn import "g:\code\intuitive projects\projects" Vm006\Repositories
Fails svn: E205000: Invalid URL 'Vm006/Repositories'
etc.
It seems to ignore what kind of slash is used but all the logical
options failed so I tried the illogical ones also. They all failed.
