I have been working on OPENGROK for searching through my SVN code repository. It requires a checked out version of the repository to index it.

I have been able to achieve is searching through the repository when I have checked out version on my system. Where I am stuck is when I try to search through the history of the repository. What can I do?

Also, how can I update the indexes instead of creating new ones all the time?

    Which version of opengrok are you using ? There are two ways opengrok can show history information

    1. If opengrok and subversion are installed on the same local server OR
    2. If you have opengrok version > 0.7, history from a remote svn can be fetched as well.

    Reference: 

    Note: A local CVSROOT (or SVN if opengrok version less than 0.7) repository must be available. File history will not be fetched from a remote server for CVS (& SVN if opengrok version less than 0.7) !.

    Update 1: One more thing to verify

    The shell script “OpenGrok” in the bin directory would have an option called “OPENGROK_REMOTE_REPOS_OFF”. Check that it should be blank in the script.
