This page contains notes related to GRASS code migration (planned) from CVS to SVN.
Basic
- The SVN command line interface is just like CVS, many tasks are identical- just change the program name from cvs to svn.
Gotchas
- cvs2svn is known to break binary files (images) which were not imported into the CVS with the -kb flag. Luckily Glynn fixed most of these some months ago.
- Files using keyword substitution, such as $Date$ in the description.html files, will have to have support for that enabled manually, once per file.
$ svn propset svn:keywords "Date" filename.txt $ svn commit
Testing SVN repository
The testing SVN repository (initial stage: just cvs2svn --use-cvs --no-default-eol --force-branch=releasebranch_6_2 -s grass6svn grass6):
