Comments on: Convert Your Website to Subversion http://blog.isnoop.net/2006/03/23/convert-your-website-to-subversion/ It's a Doozy!

The problem was that earlier the checkout had failed because the import did not finish. Checking out gave me nothing but problems until I imported the files again. But then I was getting confused by the path as set up on this page. :-( When I again did it to the letter, it all went OK. Thanks. Update:

I have been working on this for several hours now on my website (through ssh), hosted with omnis.com, and finally I have come so far as successfully checking out the repository to the "working directory" which I created in the backend as throun (for development). My backend by default creates two subdirectories: etc and www, and I checked the repository out to throun/www in order to be able to access it over the Internet with my browser. However, svn put it all within a subfolder .svnrepos (same as the name of the repository). How can I change this? Or am I misunderstanding something? (Most likely!) Hi,

But now, I want to do same again with devArea and my local-Copy. Maybe youve got some hints for me? Is this possible? I'm wondering because of the svn Files, will they be versioned then, too?

It appears that I'd forgotten two important characters: the backslash on the period and the dash before the [F]. I've updated the main post to reflect this. Michael,

RewriteRule (^|/)\.svn(/|$) - [F] This seems to work for me. I'm not sure why... No, now I know. I was testing on http://example.com/.svn, which would show up in the rewrite rule as '.svn', which /\.svn/ doesn't match. Silly me ;) Incidentally, the solution was found at http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-05/1122.shtml. Now I'll run along and play elsewhere ;) Michael Well, I found it…

RewriteRule (^|/)\.svn(/|$) – [F]

This seems to work for me. I’m not sure why…

No, now I know. I was testing on http://example.com/.svn, which would show up in the rewrite rule as ‘.svn’, which /\.svn/ doesn’t match. Silly me ;)

The rule RewriteRule .svn [F] is more properly written (I think) RewriteRule \.svn - [F] Also, this will block files matching *.svn*. In other words, it will block blah.svn and .svnblah as well as /.svn/blah. Granted, that's not terribly likely, but it is possible. I'm currently looking for a solution because, on my host at least, RewriteRule /\.svn/ - [F] doesn't do anything. I haven't figured out why yet, and so that's how I came across your page. The weird thing is that RewriteRule /\.whammo/ - [F] works. This may be because .whammo doesn't exist, but I don't know. Anyway, if I find an answer, I'll post back here.

I figured it out. Was just confused by the wording in step two, but you are using ~ in the same sense as other linux distros. Thanks for the tutorial, btw.

In redhat, '~' indicates the home directory. Should ~/svn_import be on the home directory or be within the docroot of the web, ie /home/usr/www/svn_import as opposed to /home/usr/svn_import?
