  • SvnCliRemotePlugin

    v5 v6  
    77This plugin allows you to connect to remote and/or local subversion repositories. It uses the subversion command line client {{{svn}}} so no subversion-python bindings need to be installed which sometimes can be a daunting task.

    9 This is a direct connector without any caching so initial viewing of large trees is slow especially for remote ''Http:''/''Https:'' repositories like https://trac-hacks.org/svn. Same for very large changesets.
     9The plugin provides a connector with caching and a direct connector without.

     11The latter is useful if you want to quickly or maybe just temporarily provide access to a (remote) repository.
     12Initial viewing of large trees with the direct connector is slow especially for remote ''Http:''/''Https:'' repositories like https://trac-hacks.org/svn. Same for very large changesets.
    1113Nevertheless working with subtrees (like https://trac-hacks.org/svn/peerreviewplugin) is going well.

    1315== Status
    14 Note that this plugin is still in development so bugs may exist and features may still be missing.
    15 * ~~No support for properties~~ ''(implemented now)''
    16 * ~~No preview for certain files containing unicode characters~~ ''(implemented now)''
     16The following bugs are known:
    1717* Context navigation for ''Next Revision'' doesn't work
    18 * ~~Timeline sometimes doesn't show changes. Seen on trac-hacks.org for periods long ago. Current changes (first page) are visible.~~ (fixed)
    19 * No caching (as designed)
     18* No caching for subtree repositories (local mirrors of subtrees do work, though)

    5959There are two connector types available:
    60 * `svn-cli-direct` for local repositories
    61 * `svn-cli-remote` for remote repositories like ''http:'' or ''https:''
     60* `svn-cli` caching connector for local and remote repositories
     61* `svn-cli-direct` direct connector for local and remote repositories

    6363=== Local repository
    6464For local repositories you have to provide an ''absolute path'' to the repository directory.

     101There is currently no caching available for remote subtree repositories. You have to mirror a subtree to your local system using {{{svnsync}}} if you need caching. See here: https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracMigrate#SubversionReplication
