Hi,
I have just installed TortoiseSVN on my machine, and I am trying to understand it from documentation. I need it for -- restoring the older versions of my misdeveloped programs (after some sad experiences) -- making diffs/patches to upload onto SF -- update Pywikipedia (by this time I used nightlies for this purpose)
As far as I understand, I need an own repository here for the first goal. I thought I would synchronize my working copy (which should be the active pywikibot) with my local repository first and then update it from Pywiki repository.
Is this a good concept? What will happen to the rev numbers this way? Will they confuse? Or how do you solve this (those who develop and not only use the bot)?
There is a "svnsync" utility which allows you to keep a full local copy of the repository. There is also "svk" utility to have a kind of peer-to-peer model in SVN (but I never used it).
I am using svnsync to have a local copy of the FreeBSD source tree repository.
I don't have a commit right there, so it's not a problem. But actually I never commit to my local repository either, I use it only to have my svn diffs, svn logs etc. fast and when I'm off-line.
