    <p>I have a large application in a production environment that I'm trying to move under version control. So, I created a new repo and imported the app, minus various directories and files that shouldn't be under version control. Now, I need to make the installed copy a checkout (but still retain the extra files). At this point, in a recent version of SVN, I'd simply do a checkout over top the existing directory using the --force option. But sadly, I have an ancient version of SVN, from before when the --force option was added (and can't yet upgrade... long story).</p> <p>So, I checked out the app to another directory, and want to simply copy all of the .svn directories into the original directory, thus turning the original into a checkout whilst leaving alone the extra files. Now, maybe I'm just having a rough day and missing something that's in plain site, but I can't seem to be able to figure this out. Here are the approaches I've tried so far:</p> <ol> <li><p>Use rsync: I can't seem to hit the right combination of include and exclude directives to recursively capture all the .svn directories but nothing else.</p></li> <li><p>Use cp: I can't figure out a good way to have it hit all the .svn directories across and down through the whole app.</p></li> <li><p>Use find with -exec cp: I'm running into trouble with the leading part of the pathnames of the found files messing up the destination paths. I can exclude it using -printf '%P', but that doesn't seem to go into the {} replacement for exec.</p></li> <li><p>Use find with xargs to cp: I'm running into trouble with find sending over child directories before sending their parents. Unfortunately, find does not have a --breadth option.</p></li> </ol> <p>Any thoughts out there?</p> <p>Other info:</p> <ul> <li>bash 3.0.0.14</li> <li>rsync 2.6.3 p28</li> <li>cp 5.2.1</li> <li>svn 1.3.2</li> </ul>

    1. COMake sure you remember to set the permissions on the .svn folders properly otherwise it can be a potential security exploit. This website explains the issue http://www.adamgotterer.com/2009/01/26/hacking-the-svn-directory/

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
