Package: subversion
Version: 1.1.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi, I (mis-)use subversion to store some parts of my filesystem.
e.g.
# svn add --non-recursive /etc/
# svn add /etc/fstab
to add (only) /etc/fstab but not for example /etc/passwd
However when I want to do a checkout on another machine svn will complain
because etc already exists:
# svn update
svn: Working copy 'etc' is missing or not locked
I know of at least two possibilities* to convince svn to accept etc as one of
'his' folders but I would find it very convenient if svn would integrate
folders that already exists automatically or if it would offer an option to
do so.
regards
Thorsten
*) 1. Move the folder temporary away and let svn recreate it
(however you probably don't want to move /etc away, even temporary)
2. Get the /etc/.svn subfolder from somewhere else and copy it into your
etc folder
