Community Server Repository

The Repository for Community Server is up on svn://sgdotnet.org/CommunityServer

The directory structure is as follows :-

/trunk   <---- The main development
/branch   <---- Branches made in the development
/tags   <---- Releases made

Most of the developers will work on trunk. The maintainers will decide and prepare the Releases under tags. Branch will be test work you want to try out and share with other developers to work on before merging with the trunk.

Cheerios.

where is the physical filesystem location of the repository? I could only find C:\Projects\Devel\CommunityServer relates to the web portion svn://sgdotnet.org/CommunityServer/trunk/src/Web

Where does /CommunityServer/trunk/ begin? I am seeking to exclude some files and directories (e.g. /bin assembly drop points)

Right. I only exported the web portion to C:\Projects\Devel\CommunityServer. I haven't set up any beta site yet to display the changes made.

CommuntiyServer/trunk begins at the source code level, which all the components and control source. I kept the bin directory in the web portion to test CS out.

I tried to upload my compiled assemblies in bin via TortoiseSVN but it doesn't appear updated on the server although the logs do record it. Where did my updated assemblies go?

I realise that what is shown in our server's phyiscal filesystem is not the repository but a client dump as well.

Still, I cannot find the exact steps to exclude items out of the repository?

Right-click on the file/directory and Add To Ignore, under your TortoiseSVN.

But what about the Repository itself? Maybe assemblies we can keep, but user-specific files like the we should exclude (.resx, .user, etc).

Btw, I see no "Add to Ignore" function.

Resx files is not resource files meh? I don't think you can exclude those files leh.

Excluding files does not reside within the repository itself, only at the client side, I think. One way to do it is to TortoiseSVN->Settings and under Exclude/Ignore pattern, just add the *.resx and so on.

What I mean is, you exclude those files, you will lose some information.

So you mean to say once a repository is set, there is no way to eradicate them?

They are unimportant; will be auto-generated by VS.NET. They are not manually crafted by developers.

Eradicate them? Delete it in your local copy, commit the delete, and the file is GONE from the repository. Then you can prevent further prompts for committing by Add to Ignore, or by adding the exclude pattern under settings as mentioned above.
