Feature: Support subversion svn version control system in BackEnd

Support svn URLs & credentials in text files as an alternative to git URLs & credentials.

Solution alternatives:

1. native svn client & Java command line invocation
2. native svn client & Apache Java client library
3. SVNKit (check license)

Decision: Check 3) first. Reasons:

• smaller docker image without svn client install
• clean implementation in pure Java -> direct call return evaluation

´ For some reason, when the backend is missing the credentials for any repo (Git or Subversion), the error is thrown by the GitAPI due to the clonning. I´ll keep debugging to fix the issue.

I have created 3 repos for the svn tests. They are available here:

Submission: https://svn.riouxsvn.com/cota-submission

Test-Course: https://svn.riouxsvn.com/cota-testcourse

Test-Calc: https://svn.riouxsvn.com/cota-test-calc

I have succesfully tested my refactored SVN checkout code. There where two main issues with the original code:

• SVNDepth was not defined and therefore the checkout action was not cloning any information. For the moment I have set SVNDepth to INFINITY. Meaning the checkout will be always the complete repository, similar to the default git checkout action.

• The checkoutDirectory was not set as in the git checkout action. Therefore the previous code was not creating the needed folder structure in the backend container.

I will merge two branches for this feature. amg-svn in the backend for the code fix and amg-svn in the runner21 to include the config files with the svn repo. (Currently it is on an account of mine (with the hft email), I assume we´ll create an organization account in a svn hosting service of our choice)

mentioned in merge request !2 (merged)

added Ready label and removed Test label

For future testing, please approach Peter Heusch. He runs an internal svn related to the lida lab and he wants to use our plugin in his exercises. He can explain the setup.

Perfect. I didn´t know the internal svn service. But if I remember correctly, the lida lab required a vpn connection. I´ve seen your email, hope that Heusch gets back soon. Maybe we can meet tomorrow at the HFT. Thanks a lot.
