python pysvn creating default folders on initialization

I'm using pysvn module to control subversion activities. And for the moment, I'm still testing. However I notice something weird. When I'm using 

import pysvn
client = pysvn.client('svn_dir_path')

to initialize a client object.

1.In one repository, the svn URL goes like:

svn://host:port/auto_test/case_manage/static/file

pysvn create a "auth" folder, "config" file, "servers" file, and README.txt file.(with nothing important inside these files)

enter image description here

2.In another repository, where the svn URL goes like:

http://localhost:port/svn/minder_files

And in this case, nothing is created.

So could someone explain this?

Solution

  • You told SVN to create a config folder for you. If the docuemntation was not clear let me know.

    From the documentation at http://pysvn.stage.tigris.org/docs/pysvn_prog_ref.html#pysvn_client

    client = pysvn.Client()
client = pysvn.Client( config_dir )

    The default subversion configuration directory is used if the config_dir is omitted or set to ''.

    The configuration directory is automatically created if it is missing.

    A Client object can only be used on one thread at a time. If two threads attempt to call methods of Client at the same time one of the threads will get a pysvn.ClientError exception with the value 'client in use on another thread'.
