Read-only Git, SVN Repo for Code::Blocks

[Biplab]

I’m hosting a read-only mirror of Code::Blocks repo on my server. This will give read-only access to everyone. I’m also hosting a read-only Git repo. This will give us access to Git repo to everyone who loves Git (including myself).

You can check out source via svn by issuing the following command-

Code

svn checkout svn://cb.biplab.in/codeblocks/trunk

You can browse svn repo using WebSVN interface at the following url-

http://cb.biplab.in/websvn/

You can clone git repo by issuing following command-

Code

git clone git://cb.biplab.in/codeblocks.git

You can browse git repo, download source tarball at the following url-

http://cb.biplab.in/cgit/

These repos are refreshed every 30 minutes. So if you find that my repo is not updated, then try again after sometime.

If you face any issue accessing any repo, please let me know.

@ollydbg,

I noticed your post very late.

Yes, server went down couple of times this month. The last one happened yesterday. On all occasions it was hard reboots which crashed my server. Sometimes I receive server reboot notification mid night or when I'm at work; this prolongs server downtime.

I'm keeping an eye on the situation and may move it to a different host if situation deteriorates.

Please feel free to PM me if you notice it down.

Hi, Biplab, is it possible the GIT synchonize the SVN log message change such as the one I did in

It may be possible. I'll do it later today.

But this will mean that you'll change the history, which is not a good practice and causes lots of pain.

I love to rewrite history.

SF repo still shows your old commit message. No changes were made to that. As a mirror I'll leave the commit message same as source.

Yes, I do see the SF repo still have old messages
http://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/code/8855/log/?path=
But my local svn log was changed, see screen shot below:


Question: I can edit the log message by TortoiseSVN, after that, do I need to do any thing like run a commit? Actually I did not run any commit after changing the log message.

Do you have appropriate access to repo? AFAIK, you need special access to change commit log.

I don't have special access, just normal developer R/W access to SF repo.

If I understand it correcty, the change of the log-entry is in fact a property change.
ANd such changes have normally to be committed explicitely.

Thanks, but currently I don't find any option in TortoiseSVN that let me commit such property change.

Nope, not at all. I've setup a general hook that does not depend on user rights (although it would be possible to do that, too).

Also, a log change does not require an explicit commit - its done directly.

BUT: Your SVN software needs to re-cache the log messages. As these are usually stored locally to save bandwidth, you need to ensure they get re-freshed. For me this is done automatically, for TortoiseSVN this may not be the case. The easiest (but brute-force) way would be do delete the SVN log cache for the particular repo. Then it will be re-built completely.

And it my opinion this is the reason this feature should be disabled. A person can destroy the history and we won't know about it. Good luck in restoring it back.
