[developers] terg in the LOGON tree

[Alexandre Rademaker]

Hi Stephan,

Just a friendly reminder to update the page http://moin.delph-in.net/LogonExtras with:

1) The extra argument `--ignore-ancestry` in the `svn switch` command

> i can reproduce the issue you describe on one of my linux environments, while the instructions as published work fine on others.  it appears newer versions of the SVN client enforce some testing that gets in the way.  and for all i can tell right now, that is an unwarranted error report.

> either way, the problem goes away when i follow the instructions from SVN, i.e. add ‘—ignore-ancestry’ to the ‘switch’ command.  could you try that too and report back?  if it works for you too, i shall update the LogonExtras page.

2) Some note reinforcing the information about the different SVN URLs being all the same

> ’svn.delph-in.net‘, ’svn.emmtee.net’, and ’logon.emmtee.net‘ (for LOGON developers only) in fact all (currently) are prefixes to the same SVN namespace.  in you list below, ’/trunk‘ is the LOGON tree, whereas ’/erg/trunk‘ is the ERG.


If you prefer, I would be glad to help if you make the page `mutable`.


Best,
