How to start subversion service under windows XP

• Simple subversion service under windows.

Svn work directory:

If you are using a special version of SVN with work directory named "_svn" instead of ".svn"
then you must do the following modification of registry:

Configuration of PB:

The field User ID helps to determine current user. This value used nowhere in process except to check if object was checked out by you or by another user. So you can change this value to edit object checked out by another user.

The Project field should contain the folder where you have made "SVN Check Out" operation:

Local Root Directory is a folder of your PB workspace.

As you can see my project contains two subfolders. You must manually create all subfolders of your project in SVN (if you have some).
The Project folder must be always in status normal when you are going to work with PB.

Known problems:

• To work with console applications (svn.exe) and to avoid console blinking, proxy creates console on library initialization. Sometimes (I don't know why) you could see it, but it quickly disappears.
• Today proxy has a simple parser of ".svn\entries" file. And if tomorrow format will be changed then proxy will not work.

How it works:

Today SVN supports native object locking, but this information is stored on server only and not cached in local copy.
That's why I'm emulating locking using SVN properties feature. Properties are cached in the local copy

This means that testscc.pbt is locked by the user dmluinfo2id.

To increase speed, SCC Proxy creates cache folder in the svn work directory:



Each file contains just two lines: revision number and value of lockby property.

If you have any problems:

.
To enable debug logging, please spesify a full path in the registry:

All svn commands will be logged into this file.
So you can repeat them from the command shell and see where the problem appears.

Also the file "%TEMP%\pbscc.err" created during "svn update" command.
You can check it to see if you have some specific problems.
