svn: Inconsistent line ending style

antonio lorusso — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:38:30 +0000

I hate svn! It’s official!
if you have this stupid error, what you have to do is run dos2unix on the file specified by the error. Don’t forget the -a option!
shell$ dos2unix -a /the/affected/file.php

svn revert cleanup

antonio lorusso — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:17:27 +0000

You have reverted an svn merge and you have a lot of files not tracked (with exclamation mark, basically)?
Clean it up:
svn status | awk '$1 == "?" {print $2}' | xargs -t -i rm -r {}
Again, knowing awk and xargs turn helpful!

the correct procedure for compiling subversion 1.6.2

Not sure if this is the complete way of doing it (I’m not telling you which .deb to install), but it worked for me:

Remove some waste from eventual previous compilations:
$ rm -rf /usr/loca/lib/libsvn* $ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libapr* $ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libexpat* $ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libneon*
Run autogen
$ ./autogen.sh
Configure and install (it is important to follow the order)
$ ./configure $ make -j external-all $ make -j local-all $ sudo make install
That’s it. Hope to have helped someone as usual.

svn: Entry has unexpectedly changed special status

If you have this error after tryin a commit, for sure you have replaced a standard file with a symlink or viceversa, haven’t you?

In that case, what you have to do is just svn add and svn will replace the file with the new one!

Were you already scared ?

Anyway, the correct procedure to replace a real file with a symlink in svn is the following:

svn remove of the file you want to link
ln -s
svn add of the new link

quick solution to “svn: Checksum mismatch …”

If this error afflict your quiet development day, I’m sorry
I had this problem today and I solved in few steps:

make a backup of the working copy in a different directory
delete only the corrupted directory from your working copy
make an svn update
copy back only the modified files you need from the backup copy to the current working copy
commit your changes

Now breath deeply and take a cold shower: I suppose you must be sweat!

svn log: filter by username

antonio lorusso — Mon, 12 May 2008 09:32:45 +0000

I’ve found this command useful to filter the svn log by username:
svn log | sed -n '/username/,/-----$/ p'
I hope is useful to anyone like it was for me

ps. It’s really useful to read the sed manual as well!
