"svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:"
This usually happens with special characters in the file name, which the client cannot understand.
Just set proper locale in the client to fix this issues,
$ export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 // make sure the locale is properly set. $ locale LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
./arun
To make custom configurations for svn+ssh:
Edit ~/.subversion/config
– add the ssh configuration details under [tunnels]
like:
foobar = /usr/bin/ssh -i /home/foo/.ssh/foobar.private -p 12345
Now use:
svn co svn+foobar://user@svn.test.com/home/test/repos/foobar

create svn repository and initial check in
To create svn repository login to the svn server:
$ sudo -u svnuser svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /path/to/repository* we can use bdb as well as db format
To make all the group members privilege to write access the repository:
$chmod g+w /path/to/repository
and add the user to svn group.
To create initial contents:
either you can check out the repository and create the file structure like:
[local_machine]$ svn co svn+ssh://user@svnhost/path/to/repos localdirectory
[local_machine]$ mkdir -p localdirectory/trunk localdirectory/tags localdirectory/branches
[local_machine]$ cd localdirectory; svn commit -m "initial repository structure"
or you can do the same from the svn server itself using file:///
