Question
Our development team is moving to subverison and we would like to index the content on it.
Currently we use Visual Source Safe and keep the latest source on a shared drive for indexing.
We are also just starting to use Microsoft Search Server 2008 and as Subverison exposes a web interface we wanted to try and index it using the Search server. However the only piece of content that does get indexed is the root page. I suspect this is because it is an XML document that gets served up.
Solution 2
sbi,
Another way to do it would be to use a batch to run the svn export
command and have the search server come back and index the file system a while later. What do you think?
OTHER TIPS
I don't know about SVN's web interface, but you could install a post-commit hook on the subversion server that updates a working copy on a shared drive and keep doing what you did with VSS.
