tortoisesvn - Upgrading SVN after new Windows installation -
i've been running tortoise svn
awhile , have been using v1.6.8
. bought new hd decided time upgraded svn , downloaded v1.8.1
my old svn installed at: c:\program files\tortoisesvn
my new 1 installed at: g:\program files\tortoisesvn
accidentally installed windows g
drive , c:
occupied old drive removed soon.
all repositories remain in same place versioned files/folders.
so question is, there need worry when doing upgrade? such path information considering installed @ new location? process need follow?
i want keep old settings etc wanting keep data inside application data\tortoisesvn
folder not sure if compatible new version?
i'm thinking this..
- install old version
g:\program files\tortoisesvn
- copy on old data in
application data\tortoisesvn
new dir - install new version
would it? or above there path issues or other things consider?
is there need worry when doing upgrade?
yes
such path information considering installed @ new location?
no. installation add tortoisesvn\bin
path automatically, shell-extension not depend installation location
you have worry 2 (different, unrelated mentioned) things
- subversion configuration have copied new location of subversion-data (stored auths, configuration, server-specific settings) - in
%appdata%\subversion
, have moved c g - working copy of subversion 1.8 use new format, incompatible 1.6 (1.8 can't read wcs of 1.6), must
svn upgrade
old working copies (or re-checkout new location)
