I use Cornerstone as my app of choice to manage those repositories. Combined with Unfuddle, it’s a wonderful combination for remote programming teams. I recently had the need to rebuild my Mac OS X desktop computer at work. I have a fair number of SVN repositories and working copies on my machine.
Anyway, I backed up all my Mac (including working directories), then formatted my hard drive. After reinstalling everything, I copied the working directories back to their original location, then copied these file, using terminal, from the backup to the new installation:
Preferences:
~/Library/Preferences/com.zennaware.Cornerstone.plist
Registration Databases and Transcripts:
~/Library/Application Support/Cornerstone
And everything is working perfectly again!
