In an effort to continue my hack-of-the-week series, here is a quick overview of few subversion hacks I have worked on lately:
- svn-ignore.sh is a tiny shell script which will bring all unversioned files in current svn or svk repository in your $EDITOR and add result of your edit to svn:ignore
- svndump-move.pl is more complex perl script which will allow you to reorganize directory layout in your repository while preserving revision history -- it solved problems like: oh, if I only had root of my repository is subdirectory foo...
- svn2cvs is a bit older tool which received attention when Bartek Teodorczyk very patiently started to report problems with it. As a result, it now has test suite, and it's much more robust
Most of documentation for those tools is hidden in subversion commit messages. If you think they are useful, take a peek there...
