RE: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync

‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the repository root.

Assuming that you have access to the entire repository you probably want to sync from the repository root to an empty repository to have a local backup. (Look in http://svnbook.red-bean.com for details on how to setup the right hooks, etc)

And with a bit less time pressure you can then sync that to google code.

Subject: Re: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync

Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the first (or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also unfortunately, I'm away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I can't check my command history or the error message it generated).

As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming that's correct, my ultimate goal is to "relocate" my project, with history, to a new, empty Google code project (already created and reset)--how should I proceed: should I continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my existing repository (to which I'll never again have access after tomorrow), and if so, how do I find my repository from knowing where a working copy is ('cause, clearly, I've forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy from its root, and then check that out to any place else I want to be able to work on it--would such an upload include the history, and would Google Code recognize it? Please advise/help!

Thanks,

DG

file:///C:/MWDM <file:///C:\MWDM>

Note that there are 3 forward slashes before the path because you want a blank
host entry.
