As promised I've published the code and instructions to my previous post...
Go and have a look on CodeProject:

Workaround: svn:externals with a space in the directory name:
TSVN Post-Update hook utility for using svn:externals with a space in the directory name
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/Percent20toSpace.aspx

Please let me know what you think.

While setting up my development environment for various BlogEngine.NET sites, I ran into the problem that when setting svn:externals: One cannot have spaces in the directory name or the external url with TortoiseSVN.
For example: User controls svn://host/User controls
According to a message in the TSVN mailing list, the trick is to replace the space with "%20", like this: User%20controls svn://host/User%20controls Now being able to add the external, there is a new problem:
When I put the "%20" in the name, I get a directory with the characters "%20" in the name. I could have just used an underscore, but the there are references to the "User controls" directory in the project and for future compatibility I didn't want to deviate from the original structure.

To overcome this I've created a tiny console application to rename the directory when the TSVN Post-Update Hook is fired. I will post the source in the next edition of this saga.

VisualSVN Server is a basic package of Subversion with the Apache web server and a visual management console (MMC).
The VisualSVN Server browser view is very basic, but it is easy to customise via the provided XSLT stylesheet. Just keep in mind that the files are auto generated and can be overwritten by the VisualSVN Server management console. Always backup any files before editing them.
There are two things that I think is very handy when using the SVN browser view:

1. A shortcut for TortoiseSVN checkout.
2. While developers will most likely have a SVN client installed, the same can not always be said for project managers and document writers and to explain the concepts of how the versioning works can be a pain.The solution to this is auto versioning and the ability to open repository directories with Windows Explorer (web folder).

Let's start...
I will assume the default install location for VisualSVN Server: 'c:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server'.
Add these tho images to the 'htdocs' folder: and .
In the 'htdocs' folder you should find 'svnindex.xsl'. This is the stylesheet that renders the WebDAV xml in your browser. Open the file in your favourite text editor and find the '<xsl:template match="dir">...<xsl:template>' section. Replace the following bit

Having a lot of problems with 'wedged' repositories?
A shell script to convert SVN Repositories from BDB to FS.

Change the SVNBASE, SVNREPOS and SVNTEMP variables to point to where your directories are. #!/bin/bash E_WRONGARGS=65 E_DIRDOESNTEXIST=66 if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: `basename $0` name_of_repository" exit $E_WRONGARGS fi echo "Creating $1 repository" # set up environment SVNBASE=/subversion SVNREPOS=$SVNBASE/repos SVNTEMP=$SVNBASE/temp if [ ! -d "$SVNREPOS/$1" ] ; then echo "`basename $0`: Can't open repository '$1': No such file or directory" exit $E_DIRDOESNTEXIST fi echo "dumping DBD repos $1" svnadmin dump $SVNREPOS/$1 > $SVNTEMP/$1.dmp echo "removing DBD repos $1" mv $SVNREPOS/$1 $SVNTEMP/$1 echo "creating FSFS repos $1" mkdir $SVNREPOS/$1 svnadmin create $SVNREPOS/$1 --fs-type fsfs echo "loading $1.dmp to FSFS repos" svnadmin load $SVNREPOS/$1 < $SVNTEMP/$1.dmp chown -R apache:apache $SVNREPOS/$1 chmod -R ug+rw $SVNREPOS/$1 # for SELinux chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t $SVNREPOS/$1 echo "Done."

Set the bugtraq: properties on a Subversion repository (recursively):


1. Check out your repository
2. cd to the root directory of your checkout
3. Run the following commands (note the dot at the end of each line)

svn propset -R bugtraq:label "IssueID:" .
svn propset -R bugtraq:url "http://your.issuetracker.url/?%BUGID%" .
svn propset -R bugtraq:message "IssueID: %BUGID%" .
svn propset -R bugtraq:number "true" .
svn propset -R bugtraq:warnifnoissue "true" .
svn commit -q -m "Added IssueID properties to the repository"

WINDOWS: You have to run them from the command line because a batch file will replace %BUGID% with nothing (trying to use the variable BUGID)

4. Verify when you are finished that the bugtraq:message is IssueID: %BUGID% and not just IssueID:
