Hi John,
I hope I do, but easily possible I do not, as I am a newbie in TortoiseSVN (or in Subversion at all). Nevertheless I try to describe more thoroughly my starting point, and what I want to achieve Please note: I do not want to use SVN for it’s usual purpose, a programming project, but to manage testprogram’s files on multiple test equipment So my starting point: - Created a repository in a folder “Repository” -> it is totally empty, without the usual branches, etc folders - I create the folder structure for each machine like this o Repository\”machine1serialnumber”\Data\ o Repository\”machine2serialnumber”\Data\ - Inside each “Repository\”machine1serialnumber”\Data\” I added all the subfolders/files I want to have to be versioned - Checked out the working copies - Yet, only for test purpose and to learn I did multiple modification on the WCs (commit, add, delete, whatever) -> now my “machine1serialnumber”’s revision is at 60 for e.g.: in the repo My problem: - My repository folder “Repository\”machine1serialnumber”\Data\” became corrupted (imaginary case, yet…), or I simply do something stupid - I take out the Working copy of the “Repository\”machine1serialnumber”\Data\” under version control - Delete the ”machine1serialnumber”\Data\” folder structure from the repository - Recreate the same structure in the repo (I want to have the same again, as better identification – serial nbr -, and standardization) - The recreated folder structure’s revision number will be 61 instead of 1 What I want to achieve: - To delete such whole folder structure (”machine1serialnumber”\Data\” ) from the Repo - To be able to recreate the same structure (same folder names) with clean sheets If you say, this is not possible to achieve, please be patient and try to enlighten me whyJ 2020. május 4., hétfő 17:40:54 UTC+2 időpontban John Laurence Poole a következőt írta: > > Please read up on Subversion and what the "revision" number means.
