Common operations

• export SVNUSR=svn+ssh://svn.cern.ch/reps/atlasusr/sevilla
• Creating a directory:
  • svn mkdir $SVNUSR/ADirectory -m "create"
• Deleting a directory:
  • svn rm share
  • svn ci -m "delete share directory"
• Importing a package:
  • svn import . $SVNOFF/Path/To/Package/trunk -m "initial import"

Configuration

• ~/.subversion/config
• avoid repeating password:
  • Set store-passwords to 'yes' or simply comment-out that line (default is yes).
  • ensure that the owner and permissions of are correct (no public or group access; 600).

The trick is to have the RSA2 key generated, and added to the ssh-agent to avoid typing the passphrase every time: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Summary of useful SVN commands

The following notations are used:

The ATLAS organization of the SVN repository is:

• The package name P may contain the full path to the package (e.g. MyTopLevelDir/MyDirectory/MyPackage)
• The main trunk for each package is stored in $SVNROOT/P/trunk
• Tagged versions are stored for each package in $SVNROOT/P/tags/T
• Branches are stored for each package in $SVNROOT/P/branches/B

To figure out quickly (semantically or syntatically) a svn command use svn help command, e.g., svn help status, or svn help log.
