When you decide to move a svn repository to the public it might be necessary to remove older versions from history.

For example, lets say your repository is at version 10000. However up until version 9000 you where not considering going open source. But once you did you cleaned up the code. However the old dirty code is still in svn history.

You don’t want to lose all of the history, just everything below version 9000.

This is how you do it.

svnadmin dump /path/to/current/repo -r9000:10000 > svn.dump
svnadmin create /path/to/new/repo
svnadmin load /path/to/new/repo < svn.dump


Poof! Version 9000 and below are gone. The repository is now at version 1000.

I’ve added some new features to cl1p:

First up is Message Board. You can now turn an cl1p into a message board. Just select message board in the cl1p type drop down menu.

1. You can set the title of the message board by entering a new title under options.
2. You can restrict forum management by setting a password under security. People can still add comments to the board, but you need the password to delete them.

Next is SSL. You can now purchase SSL cl1ps. These cl1ps have the same feature as standard cl1ps, with the addition of an secure SSL connection.

Mr Biggs just posted an excellent article on cl1p.net on his blog.

Thanks for the post Mr Biggs!

Now a cl1p can be more then just a text area. The cl1p type dropdown (in the top left corner) will let you change types.

First up is the Rich Text editor type. You can now create cl1p’s with rich formating options .

I have many more types of cl1ps. If you have any suggestions on a cl1p type you would like, let me know!

Here is a screen shot of the new cl1p.net. It should be up in a few weeks. What do you think?
