how to find local svn repositories?

Question

Over the years, I have created several repositories on one computer. How do I find for all local svn repositories?

I do have a solution but want to know if you know anything better:

  find ~/ -name rep-cache.db

But the problem is that this solution does not tell me when the repo was last updated. I am not asking for how to search within a repository, which has been asked before or for example here.

Answer 1

To get the last update you could use any of the below

1. svnlook date to find the last commit date

   find ~/ \
       -type d -name db \
       -print \
       -exec sh -c 'svnlook date $(dirname {})' \;
   

   This would print error message if it finds a directory named db which is not a svn repo.

2. ls -l, if you are interested only in the last modified date

   find ~/ \
       -name rep-cache.db \
       -print \
       -exec ls -l {} \;
