[Laszlo-dev] source tree status

[David Davis]

I suggest using a fsfs file system with subversion, bdb will cause you
many problems as it has caused me.  I'm using svk (perl) with svn
bindings.

If you have a repo already, to convert it, you must have the newest
svn installed.  I have v1.1.1. First create a new fsfs filesystem
where you store your svn repo (it will have a 'local' directory,
probably ~/.svn), dump your current one into the new one then rename
the directory.

cd ~/.svn
svnadmin create --fs-type=fsfs local.fsfs
svnadmin dump -q local | svnadmin load -q local.fsfs
mv local local.bdb
mv local.fsfs local

I hope this helps.
