using subversive with non-standard directory layouts [message #1273054]

Hello,

I have a subversion repository with a layout like this:

<baseurl>/trunk/<projectname>
<baseurl>/branches/<projectname>/<branchname>
<baseurl>/tags/<projectname>/<tagname>

It is this way for historical reasons, which I won't go into here.

I'm trying to use this layout with Subversive. I can check out trunk branches fine, but if I try to create a branch using subversive, I seem to get into trouble. I get a branch <baseurl>/branches/<projectname>/<branchname>/<projectname>.

There is also the option to create new project layouts, but I cannot see how to make this use the project layout we have.

What's the correct way to achieve this with Subversive?

Thanks,

Nick

Since traffic here seems to be low, I've also asked on Stack Overflow. Seems I'm not allowed to post links here, but this is the link without the http: prefix:

Hello Nick,

It is not the one of recommended layouts, so the automation is not available for it. In order to use such a layout you should open plug-in preferences and change the following option: Window->Preferences->Team->SVN->Project structure->Branch and Tag settings
from "Respect project structure" to "Manual specification"

Best regards,
Alexander Gurov,
Subversive Team.

Thanks for the reply. I have just tried this, and it does seem to stop Subversive trying to insert folders under my new branch.

Presumably it's a global setting, so I cannot have one repository in "respect" mode and the other in "manual" mode?

Of course it would be nicer if Subversive could "respect" arbitrary project structures: it might accept a specification for resource names in a repository's "Advanced" tab using a scheme such as "branches/%project/%branch" instead of simply "branches". Consider that a feature request!

Anyway, thank you, now I can do some work.
