Subversion SVN and Magento

These are the steps that I’ve followed to have a SVN Server for a company running Magento with modules and several developers.

1) Create the default structure

/root/my_project
.
|-branches
|—stable (production stable versions)
|—vendors
|—–x (release versions from Magento)
|-tags
|-trunk
|—data (database backups)
|—scripts (shell scripts)
|—src (last version of your development magento site)

2) Copy your initial Magento version. Delete and create templates (or use SVN ignore/lock instead for this)

# cp -R /srv/www/htdocs/Handpicked /root/my_project/trunk/src/
app/etc/local.xml (*local.sample.xml)
media/
var/
36093_nmerchandis.txt
.project
.server-monitor/config.php (*config.sample.xml)
.server-monitor/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php (*config.sample.inc.xml)
(*template config files)

3) Copy your Magento original version under
/root/my_project/branches/stable/1.4.0.1/

4) Create repository

# svnadmin create /srv/svn/handpicked
# chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/svn
# /etc/init.d/svnserve start
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

5) Add the first version of your project

# cd /root/my_project
# svn import . http://ec2-xx-xx-xx-amazon.com/svn/repo/ -m "Initial version"

6) Merge Production image folder wih Test image folder script

#!/bin/sh
rm -rf /srv/www/htdocs/Handpicked/media/catalog/product/cache
rsync -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/handpickedserver.pem -c blowfish -l root" -avx --delete-excluded --recursive --exclude '*media/catalog/product/cache*' root@www.handpickedcollection.com:/srv/www/htdocs/Handpicked/media /srv/www/htdocs/Handpicked/

/root/my_project
.
|-branches
|—stable (production stable versions)
|—–1.4.0.1.handpicked23
|——-data
|———HandpickedMagento.sql.gz

|-tags
