#4300 Change default SVN tool creation behavior [25838]
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/25838
Hello,
On each of the converted projects I have converted, the default svn url includes "trunk" -- even if the "trunk" directory doesn't exist. I understand that most projects use a "trunk" directory with svn, but you do not have to. Perhaps a sane default for the conversion would be "/"?
This is not a personal issue for me -- I know that you can easily adjust this in the project settings now. I figured I would bring this to someones attention.
Thanks in advance! Oh and the new system is a huge improvement! Thanks SF!
Personally, I think we should just default the checkout to go to the root, and also disable the automatic creation of branch/tags/trunk.
In my observation, it tends to confuse projects projects more than help (though admittedly, I hear more from projects that are having issues than ones that don't), and also since it automatically gets a repo to rev. 1, you can't do stuff like svnadmin load from the Shell.
I think it'd be reasonable to have a checkbox option to create the tags/trunk/branches when creating an SVN repo. The checkout URL can change accordingly.
We also have [#3027] to validate the checkout URL. We should apply that to projects when upgrading too.
