Synchronizing SVN repo from local to server?

Question

So i have this local SVN repo that i am using for my dev work on a particular project, and i also have a SVN repo setup on the customers media temple account for a more secure backup.

I do all of my development on my laptop so i don't always have an internet connection (hence the local SVN), so i was wondering if there is an easy way to push the changes i commit to my local repo onto the server repo?

Answer 1

You will probably want to svn merge versions between repositories.

There are some good tutorials around how you can do that. Give a look at http://blog.red-bean.com/sussman/?p=92 or http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#multi-merge for a good introduction on that topic

Answer 2

I know it's a stretch, but what you're attempting to do is not necessarily suited for Subversion, since it is a centralized revision control system (only one master copy of the repository).

Git is a distributed revision control system that would allow you to make offline commits, diffs and merges. You should check it out.
