What are you doing about partitioning public and private dotfiles? I'd like to be able to check out public parts of my home directory (e.g. .bashrc) onto any machine where I have an account, but private parts (e.g. .fetchmailrc) only onto machines where I'm also root. So far I haven't come up with a good way to do this, especially because symlinks and Unix permissions aren't versioned yet. The best I've come up with is a .hide directory for private things and a (partially written) 'svnfix' script that sorts out symlinks and permissions after each checkout based on some properties I set. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

So far I haven't come up with a good way to do this, especially because symlinks and Unix permissions aren't versioned yet. I haven't run into this problem yet. So far for files that are site-specific (like my .emacs file), I've been able to code them to detect the environment and adjust accordingly. The best I've come up with is a .hide directory for private things and a (partially written) 'svnfix' script that sorts out symlinks and permissions after each checkout based on some properties I set. I used to do something similar when I was using CVS for my home directory. Since I didn't want it tracking stuff directly in my $HOME, I tucked it away in a subdirectory and used a script to take care of symlinks and stuff. It sucked. :) -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subversion equivalent of 'cvs update -C'
Does subversion have an equivalent to the command 'cvs update -C', i.e. overwrite locally modified files with the current ones from the repository? -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Perhaps file an issue at subversion.tigris.org to ask that 'svn update -f' do this? (svn deliberately doesn't have command-specific options, but -f is being used for force so seems appropriate.) -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
