Subversion notes

File Activities

Make your PDF's binary:

 svn propset svn:mime-type application/pdf *.pdf

Enable the subversion execute bit (so that scripts get checked out with their execute bit set):

 svn ps svn:executable yes filename

If the URL of the repository changed, use this:

  svn switch --relocate http://old/url http://new/url

Verify data served in a repository:

  svnadmin verify REPOS_PATH

Backup a repository:

  svnadmin dump REPOS_PATH | gzip -9 > svn.dump.gz

Restore a backup:

  svnadmin create REPOS_PATH
  gunzip -c svn.dump.gz | svnadmin load REPOS_PATH
