While trying to use an SVN repository as an alternative solution to this issue I seem to have run into another problem. If I use an 'svn://' URL for the repository source, the files / folders I upload using WebDAV are always checked in as siblings to the root and not as it's children. For example, this is my repository configuration:
<mode:source jcr:name="content"
mode:classname="org.modeshape.connector.svn.SvnRepositorySource"
mode:repositoryRootURL="file://localhost/opt/svn/mingle/content/"
mode:defaultWorkspaceName="trunk" mode:username="souvik"
mode:password="password" mode:retryLimit="3" mode:updatesAllowed="true" />
<mode:predefinedWorkspaceNames>trunk</mode:predefinedWorkspaceNames>
I would expect the content to be checked in under 'trunk' in the repository. However, it seems they are checked in under '.../content/' instead. I verified this in Eclipse by adding the SVN repository in the 'SVN Repository Exploring' perspective.
I checked and ran the unit tests on the 2.5 snapshot source which uses the 'file://' protocol for a local repository. The tests passed. I then changed the 'svn://' URL to a 'file://' URL in my configuration and this time it followed the provided hierarchy while checking in. However, I would ideally want to access the SVN repo remotely using 'http://' or 'svn://' protocols. Anyone faced a similar issue? Or is my setup wrong?
