Re: Renaming repositories

[Mark Ward]

If you are using gf or git you could create the new repository normally and then push the old repository into the new.  When done delete the old. 

This is how I have moved repositories around.  Not sure about svn.

Would it be possible to implement the ability to rename repositories?
The way I'm doing it currently is to create a new repository with the
new name, delete it from the file system, copy the repository to the
new name, then delete the old repository. It doesn't happen that
often, its just when it does, somebody who has terminal access to the
server needs to do it.

A short workaround for repository renaming is the following:

- stop scm-manager
- rename the repository folder (.scm/repositories/type/name)
- create a backup of the repositories.xml (.scm/config/repositories.xml)
- search the repository in the repositories.xml and change the name
element to the new value
- start scm-manager

I will think about a rename function for the core of scm-manager.

Hi Sebastian,

I need to rename some repositories in SCM Manager, which is running on a Windows server.

Following your steps, I'm unable to find repositories.xml. Would you happen to know where this file is located on Windows?

I've also peeked in environment variables and in the Windows registry, but I haven't been able to figure out where SCM Manager keeps this data.

Many thanks in advance,

– Leif

Doh! Now I just found it :)

It was here: C:\Users\<current_user>\.scm\config
