Newby question: logging with import?

[Ton Boelens-2]

Hi,

I am new to subversion. I would like to add a large number of files to
an empty repository with the following command:

svn import ~/righttree/ file:///mnt/data/svn -m "Eerste grote import"

The directory righttree and all it's subdirectories are read and it
looks like it is copying the files (13 GB). Then, after an hour or so
of listing filenames, the proces just stops.

When I then do svn list file:///mnt/data/svn, I get no output.

Is there a way to enable logging of svn import? What can I do to
troubleshoot?

Any help would be welcome.

Regards,

Ton

How long have you let it continue running? 13GB is a lot to import in
a single shot, and there will very likely be long periods where
nothing *appears* to be happening.

Because the import isn't complete yet.

What are you expecting to be logged? Try a smaller import first (1GB
at most) and work up from there.

You can use --verbose on the command line and redirect the output to a file.

Hi Andy,

I have imported the directories in smaller portions and this worked
out. Also, I have decided to not import my foto's and mp3's in the
repo, because these files do seldom change.

After some experimenting with RapidSVN (Linux) and Versions (Mac OSX)
I now have a working setup.

I am now going to assign a replicated repository, that can serve as an
off-site backup.
