SVN sync -- full refresh every time?
Hi,
I made some manual tweaks to the early Subversion history of my project, libdmtx, so that ohloh can show all revisions back to 2005-2006.
I reimported the updated repository to SourceForge.net and everything looks fine, but after several successful syncs ohloh still shows my project to be 7 months old (which is when I switched from CVS to SVN). I have been careful to maintain sequential dates and a consistent directory structure (/trunk) throughout the commit history.
My question: Does the ohloh SVN sync process do a full refresh of history every time, or is it only adding on small deltas that include the last few revisions? If full, I might need a hint as to where the sync process is dropping my old (> 7 months ago) commits.
Thanks!
Mike (mblaughton)
Hi Mike,
Ohloh pulls only the incremental updates. If you've changed the back history of the repository, we'll have to do a clean reimport of the entire project.
I've started the fresh import.
Thanks,
Robin
Thanks for the speedy and helpful response, Robin! I'm sure you hear it all the time, but your attention to user questions is a big factor in why ohloh works so well. Other services (both free and paid) should be taking notes. Keep up the great work!
Hi Mike,
The download completed, and we now show a commit history dating back to 2005-11-22.
Thanks for the kind words! Let me know if there's any more trouble.
Thanks,
Robin
