After years of faithful service, I made the change from CVS to Subversion (SVN). I installed SVN on the server, and set up the SSH keys on my desktop and got up TortoiseSVN and SVN for eclipse. I used cvs2svn to copy over everything from CVS to SVN (which required about 1-2 hours of removing the Norwegian characters Æ Ø Å from filenames from misc. schoolwork). I like TortoiseSVN much more than TortoiseCVS, but I’ve had some problems with checking out stuff into eclipse. Seems like I have to check in everything as eclipse projects for it to work straight away. I notice that SVN seems a bit slower than CVS (when using it with SSH and pre-authenticated keys), if it becomes a problem then I’ll just install SVN on my windows desktop and mirror the repository on my server.

Bye bye CVS.. Good morning SVN
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008all work..
Sunday, February 4th, 2007Today I did the most tedious work ever.
Having committed everything on my CVS server using a Linux client for the last years, I accidentally forgot to mark stuff as binary. As a result every binary file (like pictures, datafiles, etc..) get fucked up if I check them out on a windows computer.
So, I’ve spent around 3 hours going into every directory in the CVS tree, running the “cvs admin -kb” command on all binary files..
Followed by a couple of “cvs update -A”.
All this so I might checkout some files to eclipse on my stationary computer..
