In my previous post we discussed the concept of SVN and its installation. In this post I am going to show the working with commands of SVN from Client and administration part at the server end.
SVN is a source code management tool which is used by a developer to push the code to the actual SVN server. Sometimes different users may work on the same directory and files, so to avoid conflicts related to data, svn uses "commit" which allows whether a file can be committed or any other user is still working on it.
If other users working on it, svn throws us a message asking whether to continue with the changes by A developer or to commit another developer B's work.
Let us get into the action by practicing few basic commands:
We have seen already, how to add a file and commit. Now lets see how to add a directory which contains different files.
F:\Workspace_local>svn st
svn: warning: W155007: 'F:\Workspace_local' is not a working copy
F:\Workspace_local>
Important rule never forget to perform work/ execute svn cmds in your Workspace.
F:\Workspace_local>cd subversion

There are two other main commands with special usage. When it comes to a developer, he has his workspace checked out with the repo. But what if a one time user want to push some data from his PC. Similarly what if someone wants to pull a single file.
Usually we can use checkout command to push entire directory, so to push a single file we have "svn import" command.
Note: To make use of "import" command, no need to run it from Workspace. I copied a file outside of my workspace "subversion".
Other than these, there are few other commands like "svn revert" to revert any operations before committing, and "svn diff" used to view difference between two files.
So far we completed svn commands practical from client side. Now let us see some SVN admin tasks.
Admin should perform tasks related to Authorization, backups of repo and restricting few tasks or applying conditions to perform a task.
Observe the output:
F:\Workspace_local\subversion>svn log -r2:6

We are working with anonymous user, we can restrict this by creating separate users and also by restricting their access to certain level (directories).
To create users,
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0# cd apache2/
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2#
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2# htpasswd -c /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_users dev1
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user dev1
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2#
For second developer, used -m to modify the users file. If we use -c it will create the file again...
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2# htpasswd -m /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_users dev2
New password:
Re-type new password:

root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2#

dev2:$apr1$vhccSww7$y.W95.QX5ofsBosFPcxZH0
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2#
Let me show, if I use -c option:
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2# htpasswd -c /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_users dev3
New password:

dev3:$apr1$Fa3y4u5Q$INzi63RXzYiThQZ9hm8S.1
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2#
Create a new file with name "svn_access" (can give according to admin wish)
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2# vi /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_access
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2#
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0# cat svn_access
[subversion:/] ------ can mention desired directory
dev3=rw
[groups] ------ can assign a group to a user
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
To enable this authentication in our apache server,
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf# vi httpd.conf
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf#
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf# cat httpd.conf | tail -12
Include "/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf/ssi.conf"
Include "/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf"
<Location /subversion>
DAV svn
SVNPath "/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Project1"
AuthUserFile /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_users
Require valid-user
AuthzSVNAccessFile /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_access
</Location>
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf#
Then restart the apache server,
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0# ./ctlscript.sh restart
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh : subversion stopped
Syntax OK
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd stopped
Syntax OK
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started at port 81
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh : subversion started at port 3690
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
Now try to open in browser, this time server will pop-up the Authentication window....
Similar to these, an admin can restrict commits with some conditions. Admin can restrict few types of files to get added to server.
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository# cd hooks
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/hooks#
In this hooks directory, we have different templates where we can write our scripts to restrict any kind of task...
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/hooks# ls
post-commit.tmpl post-revprop-change.tmpl pre-commit.tmpl pre-revprop-change.tmpl start-commit.tmpl
post-lock.tmpl post-unlock.tmpl pre-lock.tmpl pre-unlock.tmpl
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/hooks#

[groups] ------ can assign a group to a user
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
To enable this authentication in our apache server,
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf# vi httpd.conf
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf#
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf# cat httpd.conf | tail -12
Include "/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf/ssi.conf"
Include "/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf"
<Location /subversion>
DAV svn
SVNPath "/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Project1"
AuthUserFile /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/svn_users
Require valid-user

root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/conf#
Then restart the apache server,
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0# ./ctlscript.sh restart
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh : subversion stopped
Syntax OK
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd stopped
Syntax OK
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started at port 81
/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/subversion/scripts/ctl.sh : subversion started at port 3690
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
Now try to open in browser, this time server will pop-up the Authentication window....
Use of svn_access file, is to restrict the access permissions of a user...
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0# vi svn_access
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0# cat svn_access
[subversion:/New folder]
dev3=rw
[groups]
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0#
Provided access only to "New folder" for dev3 user...
Before changing access,
After providing new access, he can only view and edit "New folder"
Another admin task is to handle backup and restore of repo.
To take dump,
svnadmin dump /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/ > /file_loc
To load it,
svnadmin load /opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/ < /file_loc
Similar to these, an admin can restrict commits with some conditions. Admin can restrict few types of files to get added to server.
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository# cd hooks
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/hooks#
In this hooks directory, we have different templates where we can write our scripts to restrict any kind of task...
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/hooks# ls
post-commit.tmpl post-revprop-change.tmpl pre-commit.tmpl pre-revprop-change.tmpl start-commit.tmpl
post-lock.tmpl post-unlock.tmpl pre-lock.tmpl pre-unlock.tmpl
root@ubuntu-new:/opt/subversion-1.9.5-0/repository/hooks#
For example, we can write a script inside "pre-commit.tmpl" which needs to be executed before commiting any type of file/dir...
An admin can perform/restrict different tasks, in this post I covered few of them....
