To simplify things, I have one local SVN repository D:\folder\repo_name and I have svnserve running as a service with root set to the mentioned path. Subclipse and SmartSVN can connect to the repository, also displays the correct head revision number, but when I try to explore the trunk (the only branch) it gives the following error: URL 'svn://localhost/trunk' non-existent in that revision. This while I can check out the complete repository perfectly fine. But I don't need the all the branches, I need just the contents of the trunk.
When I try to commit I get the error Authentication failed. However my credentials were fine when checking out earlier.
When I try to get my stuff out of there and move to GIT (which I suppose would be best as everything is always kept local), the git svn clone process completes, I see all my revisions and files pass in GIT Bash, and then try to import it in Eclipse. I see that it tries to import the project into the repository directory itself (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Image:Egit-0.9-import-projects-general-project.png). Needless to say I get the error in the shape of D:\folder\repo_name_git overlaps the location of another project: 'repo_name_git' What I don't get is why I can't seem to find a single way to let me specify where I want the project to import into.
Alternatively, when I add the project in the git repository as an existing project into Eclipse, and then - through the Team > Share menu - try to get under version control, I get the error Can not move project to target location D:\folder\repo_name_git, as this location overlaps with location D:\folder\repo_name_git, which contains a .project file
I'm at a loss and these errors are to generic to give me an idea of how to tackle them. Any heads up would be appreciated.
2 points:
I was getting "Authentication failed" on "correct" credentials - except the plugin I used was forcing the first letter of my username to uppercase - check the case of your username (upper or lower).
I've just had a problem moving onto a Subversion 1.7 repository, which is not supported by my Subversive plugin, and I was getting some strange errors.
You need to check the credentials
make sure svnserve is not started with -R {readonly option}
Check if the following lines are commented in
"\REPO_NAME\conf\svnserve.conf
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd"

I have an existing Eclipse git project, with a master and development branch present in both local, and remote tracking. I have just added a new branch in my git repository, but I can't figure out how to get it to show up in Eclipse.
I have tried to read up on the subject, but it seems like it is just expected to automatically show up. I have found a lot of similar questions, but they all seem to deal with the issues of a completely empty remote tracking folder, instead of my problem of only a single new branch missing. I already have Master and Develop present.
Here is what does not work:
Clicking refresh in the Git repositories window.
Any kind of synchronize, pull or other update I can find
Here is what would work:
Right clicking the remote tracking folder, and selecting "Paste repository path or URI". If I do that, and select the exact same path as is already there, I can see my new branch. This action does require that I completely clone the whole repository to an empty folder again, and that can't be how this is intended to work.
I believe it might work to use some kind of command line tool, but I really want an Eclipse solution to this, as I feel sure it exists, and I am just missing something.
In the Git Repositories view:
Right-click the repository and choose Fetch from Upstream
If the new branch will not shown up below Branches/Remote Tracking, you have to configure fetch:
Right-click the fetch node below Remotes/origin and choose Configure Fetch...
In the Configure Fetch make sure there is only the single Ref mapping (assuming the remote is named origin) +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*:
In case you do not see Fetch from Upstream after right-click the repository, you may look for Fetch from origin.
For me the solution was almost what Joshua suggested, however it did not work as described. For me the solution was to configure the [remote "origin"] property as follows:
[remote "origin"]
url = your_git_url.git
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
Alternatively, you can do it from the Eclipse UI too:
Fetch from origin... then hit Configure... and in the configuration window hit Advanced... and there you have the option to Add predefined specification where you can selec Add All Branches Spec. This will result in the same configuration as above:
Maybe you have to remove your original entry which will be pointed out as a duplicate by Eclipse.
You need to modify the "config" file in your local git repository folder. For example, you cloned a remote branch Project into c:\git\MyProject local folder. In this folder there is a hidden folder ".git" that has a "config" file. There is a section in this file resembling the below
[remote "origin"]
url http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
fetch = +refs/heads/Project:refs/remotes/origin/Project
You need to modify this section as below
[remote "origin"]
url http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
fetch = +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/
Then go back to Eclipse IDE, right click on the repository and do a "fetch from origin". Now all the branches will show up.
What I did:
1: disconnected.
2. refresh and pull. Then, it shows the new branch
3. create local and pull.
I have tried to move a project currently located in https://svn.path.net/proj to https://svn.path.net/old/proj by following these steps:
svn mkdir https://svn.path.net/proj
svn move https://svn.path.net/proj https://svn.path.net/old/proj
I am able to see the move 'successfully' in my svn browser.
However, when I go to do https://svn.path.net/old/proj /home/user/workspace/proj, it'll give the error:
svn: 'proj' is already a working copy for a different URL
If you have an existing working copy for one location in a repository, and you want to switch it to point to another location in the same repository, then you need to use the svn switch command.
I have to add a file in a project in the svn repository. What is the best method to add a file? And I have to run that file through command line and for that I need the location of the svn repository. How do I find the location of the SVN repository? I tried svn info and I got an error stating '.' is not a working copy.
The Problem is, the ones who installed the svn are not available. And I need to know the location of the repository to run a file through the command line.
Much thanks.
You need to ask your fellow developers or repository administrator what your repository location is. You should already have the project checked out, in which case you are already using a working copy that is linked to it and you don't need to do any more to point at the right location.
As for how to add an item, that will depend on what client you're using. In Subclipse, it's Team -> Add. In TortoiseSVN, it's TortoiseSVN -> Add. On the command line, it's svn add <filename>
It sounds like you have no experience with Subversion. You would do well to read the fine manual before you get yourself into trouble.
I've been running into a wired problem (which has been described (but not solved) here as well:
I used to develop using PyDev and Egit (recent versions, EGit is 3.0.3) with just a local repository. Everything worked fine, I was able to commit, branch, reverse etc. just using the "Team" menue in my PyDev perspective.
Now I added a remote reposisory to host the project and since then, I can not commit to my local repository. File changes are not detected (even worse: I change file A and afterwards all folders are marked as "changed" (having the ">" icon) and no file is recognized as "needing synchronization". The only menu points which are available are "Add to index" (which has no effect) and "Pull" (which says "everything is up to date" - which is true since there is nothing new on the server to pull).
When I use git (either command line or git extensions), I see the changed file as changed and it's offered for staging. I can use plain git to commit, push, etc, everything works as expected and no error messages are shown. I'm just using one branch (master).
Even if I open the "Git Repository Exploring" perspective in Eclipse and got to the tab "Git Staging", the file is listed.
I jus started a new test project with just a local repository (residing in the same git-folder ~/git) and here I can commit as I'm used to... And I added the project to the same repository server - and still everthing works! I can commit, I can push, everything is fine there...
yes, I can work around hat by using git extensions, but I really liked the smooth integraion of git in eclipse. Therefore, all ideas, remarks etc. are very welcome! And yes, I tried restarting eclipse ;o).
Finally!!!
Since everything was working before I added the remote host, amd everything worked in my small toy project, I removed and re-added my remote host using gut bash:
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin git#my_servername:my_repository.git
I suppose some configuration files were corrupted in a very non-obvious way (I checked all config fiels and did not notice anything...)
Sounds like a bug, and you might be able to get it back to a good state by playing around with the plugin setting data.
Located here: ${workspace}/.metadata/.plugins
I highly recommend backing up that whole folder before you start playing around. I have had other eclipse issues that have been resolved by going in here and deleting things.
1.
I m trying to install svn on eclipse by going on Help-Install New softwares but I am always getting error message you could not connect .so is there any another method ?
2.
Also I have downloaded subversion on terminal also I am able to do checkout ... but i am unable to commit any changes error says that 'https://svn.hostname.in/~dirmane/test' is not a local path
on typing following:
svn commit https://svn.hostname.in/~dirname/test
For your second question:
svn commit takes a path to your local working copy. The repository is not needed (in fact, not allowed) because your working copy is always associated with the same repository URL.
For example, if you have a working copy in C:\Temp\MyProject, which you got by doing svn checkout http://example.com/svn/project C:\Temp\MyProject, then you would commit any changes with svn commit C:\Temp\MyProject. Even better, change directories to C:\Temp\MyProject and you don't even need to specify a path: svn commit
Please only ask one question at a time...I have no idea about the first.
