SVN repository content


I have set up VisualSvn Server, created a repository and added Visual Studio solution to it by using AnkhSVN. The url for repository is something like https://msi-pc/svn/MyProj/. Due to my incompetence a question : is this URL mapped to location on HD where I can see actual solution files ? In C:\Repositories I don't find them. Perhaps my understanding of SVN is wrong, I thought that repository contains the most recent version of my solution that I checked in (like in TFS). Thank you,


Solution

  • The repository is implemented as a database. Below every repository root folder you will find folders like conf, hooks and db. They are handled by the SVN binaries, the contained information is provided by the SVN protocol and may be presented as WebDAV or HTML by an appropriately configured Apache (which is what VisualSVN contains).

    So your project structure is not visible as folder structure and file structure within the repositories folder. You can only access the contents via the SVN protocol.
