Today I finally managed to migrate my Evedb.info SVN repository from an internal box (boron) to my repository at Dreamhost (Home to Reve, too). It is really simple to do: Just copy the local repository files from Subversion to the new repository base. This means the conf, dav, db, hooks and locks diretories.
The problem comes when one revision is copied (Call it revision 10) and is checked out to another machine (phosphorus), development is done, checked in (Dreamhost’s Revision 11) and stupidly, development is also done on the local copy (boron) and checked in (Local revision 11). And just like that the migration away from a local file:// type.
It’s a nightmare to sort but I’ve finally got it sorted and protected with an off-site source and SSH key file.
The moral is: Plan ahead, don’t be stupid, and never make commits when you’re really tired.
