The Subversion importer supports the import of branches
from repositories that follow the conventional structure (with the
trunk, branches and tags folders at the same level in the Subversion
repository).
About this task
After you have imported the trunk of a Subversion repository,
you can import branches. Importing a branch into its own repository
workspace provides the most flexibility when working with the imported
branch.
To import a branch:
Procedure
- Create a new repository workspace that
includes the component baseline that selects the branch point that
you want to import. The component baselines were created
when you imported the trunk and selected Create baselines
for branch and tag points. For more information, see Importing a Subversion dump file.
- Create a new, empty repository workspace. For more information, see Creating new repository workspaces.
- Add the component baseline that represents the branch
point. Use the repository workspace editor to add components
to the new workspace. In the Search for components window, select Component baseline and search
for baselines whose names begin with "Base of".
- From the list of baselines, select the baseline whose
name contains the name of the Subversion folder that contains the
branch. Click Finish.
- Click Save to save your changes
and load the baseline into the new workspace.
- Import the branch. In Step 6 of Importing a Subversion dump file, select Select a component
in an existing repository workspace and choose the workspace
and component you created in Step 1 of this procedure.
- Click Finish to begin the import.
- In the Import from SVN wizard, on
the Choose SVN folders to import page, select Import the child folders of the selected SVN folders as top-level
folders in the target Jazz component. Add the folders
to import and complete the wizard.
Note: You cannot import
a direct child folder of the branches folder
or tags folder because these child folders
represent branch or tag names.
