I am trying to mirror a repository to my local machine. From what I have read the best way to approach this is using svnsync. When I go to set up this i am getting errors back that svnadmin and svnsync are unknown commands. Is there an add on I need to download to be able to perform these commands? The basic command line commands for svn are working fine such as checkout, update, etc

What is the version of your svn? With the new version of subversion 1.4 you have a new tool called svnsync with which you can maintain mirror repositories quite easily.

  • The version is 1.5.1 but it doesnt seem to recognise the svnsync command – user379222 Aug 12 '10 at 10:49
  • It's not a command, actually, it's independent tool. So, just try typing in command console directly: > svnsync – pmod Aug 12 '10 at 14:27
  • Have tried this also but doesnt seem to work. getting error " svnsync is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". Is there a seperate link I need to add to the path for this? – user379222 Aug 16 '10 at 09:21
  • What's your OS? It could be that under Linux you have bare svn? Under Windows I'm using SilkSvn which is actually a package of tools (i.e. in Program Files\SilkSvn\bin I have tools: svnadmin, svnsync, svnlook, etc along with svn itself. – pmod Aug 16 '10 at 10:32
  • Using windows xp, Collabnet Subversion Client installed. There seems to be no bin in its install folder just dll files – user379222 Aug 16 '10 at 13:25
