use endpoint dumping directly on svn

[Gabor Matuz]

Hi there,

I'm trying to run the endpoint-cli as a PoC just to get more visibility into endpoints we have, was wondering if you have any better solution for this:

I'm dealing with a huge repo virtually impossible to check out completely so I'm trying to fix it by providing the svn url directly instead of local path. I was thinking that probably the easiest way is to touch the code parts that does the file handling and cat/export files and dirs as it goes. 

Unfortunately mounting the svn with fuse doesn't work as I'm stuck with windows.

Any better/faster options?

Cheers,

G

Hrm. . .  You should only need access to a certain subset of the files from Subversion – specifically the .xml configuration files, .java source code files and .jsp pages. You might be able to do some svn magic to only pull down what you need:

You could then run the endpoint-cli on the relevant subset of the repository you just pulled down.

Thanks,
