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)
