Ah yes you're wondering about concurrent access.
So no, since you're the only one with write access, you don't need to worry about it.

You use rsync alone to get a direct copy of the repository.
Then you can use that copy as a local svn repository:


cd /tmp
rsync -avHS rsync://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/svn/objectify/ objectify.repo/
svn co file:///tmp/objectify.repo/ trunk
# ...


If you want a dump you can also use svnadmin:

svnadmin dump /tmp/objectify.repo/

Hi Sylvain

Thanks for adding that!

I have what is probably a dumb question: while searching for some information on using rsync with Subversion I found this:

  http://snarfed.org/space/backup subversion fsfs with rsync

Which I think is saying you should copy the db/current file first and then copy everything except the db/transations after that.

I suspect that since I am the only person that is using the repository right now that I don't need to worry about this?

Thanks again!

That is right! I fixed the svn documentation:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/svn/?group=objectify

I can't seem to find any instructions on how to backup my Subversion repository.  I have looked at the FAQ's and done an advanced search.  Could someone point me to the instructions on how to do a dump or what procedure I need to use?

Thanks!!
