Before svk start mirroring a remote repository, we would like to
explain two terms to you: 'depot path' and 'mirrored path'. A depot
path is like any path in a file system, only that the path is
stored in svk's internal virtual file system. To avoid confusion,
svk's default depot path begins with //, for example //depot or
//mirror/project. Now a mirrored path is a depot path with special
properties, which serves as the 'mirror' of a remote repository and
is by convention stored under //mirror/.
Now, you have to assign a name to identify the mirrored repository.
For example, if you name it 'your_project' (without the quotes),
svk will create a mirrored path called //mirror/your_project.
Of course, you can assign a 'full path' for it, for example,
//mymirror/myproject, although this is not really necessary. If you
just don't care, simply press enter and use svk's default, which is
usually good enough.
Depot path: [//mirror/apr-trunk] //apr/trunk
Committed revision 1.
svk needs to mirror the remote repository so you can work locally.
If you're mirroring a single branch, it's safe to use any of the options
below.
If the repository you're mirroring contains multiple branches, svk will
work best if you choose to retrieve all revisions. Choosing to start
with a recent revision can result in a larger local repository and will
break history-sensitive merging within the mirrored path.
Synchronizing the mirror for the first time:
a : Retrieve all revisions (default)
h : Only the most recent revision
-count : At most 'count' recent revisions
revision : Start from the specified revision
a)ll, h)ead, -count, revision? [a] h
