Is upgrading the SVN version for the server going to be too much of a problem? >From the Subversion release notes: http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.4_releasenotes.html
Older clients and servers interoperate transparently with 1.4 servers and clients. Of course, some of the new 1.4 features may not be available unless both client and server are the latest version. There is *no need* to dump and reload your repositories; Subversion 1.4 can read repositories created by earlier versions. To upgrade an existing installation, just install the newest libraries and binaries on top of the older ones. Subversion 1.4 maintains API/ABI compatibility with earlier releases, by only adding new functions. A program written to the 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 API can both compile and run using 1.4 libraries. However, a program written for 1.4 cannot necessarily compile or run against older libraries. Looks safe enough.thanks-Sandeep On Jan 3, 2008 11:49 PM, Steven Grimm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > git-svn talks to it just fine, so maybe one approach would be to clone it > with git, then use a git-hg converter (assuming such exists; I know there's > one to go the other direction.) > -Steve > > > On Jan 3, 2008, at 9:54 AM, Sandeep Srinivasa wrote: > > Hi, > I have been following the discussion in this group for (atleast) > creating a Mercurial/GIT repository. > > Since, I was very interested in using a mercurial repo of memcached, I > tried "hg convert" which uses standard Subversion Python bindings. > > It failed with the various errors. > > Subsequent attempts to use svnsync failed with an error that Dustin > Sallings referred to here > (http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Developing-memcached%2C-how-should-we-do-it--p14321040.html > ) > > The reason is similar to what is discussed here: > http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=157744.0;wap2 .
