Upgrading your svn checkouts to 1.7 with checkoutmanagerΒΆ
I updated subversion yesterday (because I installed git-svn). Subversion version 1.7 has a new repository structure and requires you to upgrade all your existing checkouts:
$> svn up
svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command
svn: E155036: Working copy 'xyz' is too old (format 10, created by Subversion 1.6)
Calling svn upgrade by hand for all checkouts is boring. And I made
checkoutmanager to make
checkouts less boring. A simple checkoutmanager up in the morning does an
svn up, git pull or hg pull -u in every one of my checkouts.
And my brother luckily added a hidden command
upgrade to checkoutmanager. It is called hidden because it is only listed
on the pypi page, not when
you call checkoutmanager --help, because it is so rarely needed.
But anyway, a simple checkoutmanager upgrade call later and all my svn
checkouts were upgraded! Nice.
