Importing Subversion repository

If you want to import your existing SVN repository at Savannah (preserving all history):

  • Prepare a dump:

    svnadmin dump mygroup-svn/ | bzip2 > mygroup-dump.bz2
    
  • Upload it at Savannah (using your download area at download.savannah.nongnu.org):

    scp mygroup-dump.bz2 mylogin@dl.sv.nongnu.org:/srv/download/mygroup/
    

    Or anywhere else that is convenient.

  • Enable SVN for your group (in Main -> Select Features from your group page)

  • Post a support request and specify where your dump was uploaded:

    http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?group=administration

Savannah Hackers will then import it on the system.

Do not send a tar.gz of your SVN repository. Using a dump is important because it's independent of the subversion release.

Note: if you just want to upload your initial source code, not your whole group history, just use svn add and commit.
