subversion

Here's a more or less simple way to migrate from Subversion to GIT(hub), this includes mapping commits and tags and what not!

If multiple people congtributed to your project, this is probably the toughest part.

If you're not migration from let's say Google Code but PHP's Subversion repository, then it's really pretty simple indeed: the username is the email address.

I found a nifty bash script to get it done (and adjusted it a little bit):

MacPorts told me that there had been a subversion update (1.7.1), which I went ahead and installed. Woo! Huge speed improvements for everything I tried with the CLI client, great stuff.

A short time later my IDE (PHPStorm) fell over screaming. It doesn't like 1.7 yet, and it's a bit stuck until SVNKit supports it.

I should have checked really. So how to downgrade? Fortunately this post makes it very easy.

Fabien Potencier has made an announcement on the Symfony Blog today about all the availability of previous Symfony versions on github.

Developer.com: The new SVN 1.7 release adds new features such as HTTPv2 and WC-NG that improve performance and make version control more efficient for developers.

On his blog Sebastian Bergmann has a recent post about how he's visualizing PHPUnit's development and pushing that information into a video based on the history of the project.

According to svn.php.net, I committed the first PHPUnit code to cvs.php.net/ on November 27th 2001 and the first release, PHPUnit 0.1, was made on December 1st 2001.

I started using svn.phpunit.de for the development of PHPUnit on June 29th 2006.

I did not import any history from CVS into Subversion.

The Solar Framework for PHP 5 is is 6 years old today. From the Subversion log: r1 | pmjones | 2005-02-14 15:11:50 -0600 (Mon, 14 Feb 2005) | 1 line Initial import.

How far we’ve come since then. :-)

I've just committed two new plugins to the habari-extras Subversion. Firstly, there's the 'share' plugin, which adds the Facebook OpenGraph metadata to pages so that the Like button works, and also adds Facebook and Twitter widgets to the bottom of posts.

Secondly, there's a bitly plugin, that pings bit.ly's API when every post is published and generates a short URL.

This URL is then stored in the post info, and it provides a template to add it to the head of each page using the shortlink markup.

Back in January, I wrote about my feelings that Subversion still beats Git when it comes to the corporate environment.

I pointed out that Git has some great features, but that the corporate world was heavily invested in Subversion, and was likely to stay that way.

I subsequently got flamed. Two months later, after using Git to [...]

I've been a big fan of Subversion since 2005, but since lately I've been having a bit of distributed source-control envy.

Many people seem to be switching to Git and Mercurial, and frankly I've felt a bit left behind.
