Update from SVN

Started a discussion with Lobo on the forum, about how to update from svn, and be sure the database schema is synced with the code.

Just use civicrm/upgrade?reset=1 and the incremental upgrader does the right thing
upgrading from svn is a bit harder :(
Set the right version in civicrm-version.txt. update to the latest tagged version and then do a civicrm/upgrade?reset=1
upgrading in the middle of a release week is a bit dangerous. you can check the php/sql code at
CRM/Upgrade/Incremental/sql/*

What is the proper convention for the civicrm-version.txt ?

Would it be possible that civicrm-version.txt in the subversion repository is updated everytime the structure has changed (or everytime there is an upgrade?reset=1 that is available ?

What is the proper way to spot when the db structure has changed ? is watching if the svn update modify/add a file in CRM/Upgrade/Incremental a good strategy ?

Code: [Select]
2.2.0 Drupal PHP5

there is no civicrm-version.txt in the repository. that file is generated by the distribution scripts

you can monitor the xml directory to see if there are changes in the schema
