Hi all,
I am new to both fsvs and svn. Please, excuse me if my questions are irrelevant
or if question are related to svn.
1. About svn repository
case 1: I commit file XYZ; then I unversion and ignore file XYZ.
-> How to completely remove file XYZ from svn repository and save disk space?
case 2: I do daily commits; once in a month I remove all garbage (empty trash,
uninstall temp/test software).
-> How to shrink svn repository and remove all daily commits?
Does fsvs handle these cases? (or maybe svndumpfilter is the answer?)
If I am able to shrink my svn repository, then I will not worry about ignore
filters.
2. I would like to see examples about ignore filters (I did not check
everything in mail archive yet, but found "howto backup" tutorial and "FSVS for
sysadmins"). I am linux beginner and can't decide easily. Could I ask for
advice:
Are these good ignore filters:
./root/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache/**
./home/*/.mozilla/firefox/*/Cache/**
./root/.nautilus/metafiles/file**
./home/*/.nautilus/metafiles/file**
./root/.thumbnails/**
./home/*/.thumbnails/**
./root/.Trash/**
./home/*/.Trash/**
I do not like global ignore filters like:
./**~
So, I am planning to ignore each file separately like:
./etc/apt/sources.list~
Is it good or bad?
To ignore apt cache or to clear cache before commit?
/var/cache/apt/archives/**
I see many add/delete entries about:
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/index/**
/var/lib/scrollkeeper/TOC/**
Can I add ignore filter for these? As I understand all these are saved in svn
repository and it will grow up slowly.
"Howto backup" tutorial does not say anything about "ignore log files". So I
suppose it is bad idea.
3. About ignore filters and usage (please, correct me if I am wrong).
As I understand, before commit I have to check status. Say I have new file XYZ,
then I have to decide:
- to delete file XYZ
- to ignore file XYZ
- to add ignore filter for file XYZ or all files with similar name or location
- to commit and keep history for file XYZ
How do you "ignore file XYZ" without ignore filter (reasons: next time when I
check status I want to see file XYZ; file XYZ is not ready for commit or maybe
will never be commited). Do you set temp ignore filter and after commit remove
it?
Again sorry for my beginner questions and thanks in advance.
Plamen.
