Here's a quick and easy way to back up your working copy (assuming it has uncommitted changes in it). Because Subversion stores all of its version-control bits in the .svn subdirectories of a checkout, it's really easy to back up your working copy before trying any commands with which you are not familiar. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ ls coreboot-v3 superiotool [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ cp -r coreboot-v3/ coreboot-v3-BACKUP [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ ls coreboot-v3 coreboot-v3-BACKUP superiotool (... Now that you have a backup, do all of your hairy work on the coreboot-v3/ directory ...) If you have SVN problems and want to start over, just restore from the backup: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ rm -rf coreboot-v3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ cp -r coreboot-v3-BACKUP/ coreboot-v3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src$ ls coreboot-v3 coreboot-v3-BACKUP superiotool I just did a fresh checkout of the coreboot-v3 tree and it looks like it's only 11 MB, so unless you have a lot of uncommitted source files, it should be relatively fast and simple to backup your working copy whenever you need to. --R -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
