### Step 1: get the youngest revision.

infile, outfile, errfile = os.popen3(svnlook + " youngest " + repo_dir)
stdout_lines = outfile.readlines()
stderr_lines = errfile.readlines()
outfile.close()
infile.close()
errfile.close()

youngest = string.strip(stdout_lines[0])
print "Youngest revision is", youngest


### Step 2: Find next available backup path

backup_subdir = os.path.join(backup_dir, repo + "-" + youngest)

# If there is already a backup of this revision, then append the
# next highest increment to the path. We still need to do a backup
# because the repository might have changed despite no new revision
# having been created. We find the highest increment and add one
# rather than start from 1 and increment because the starting
# increments may have already been removed due to num_backups.

regexp = re.compile("^" + repo + "-" + youngest + "(-(?P<increment>[0-9]+))?$")
directory_list = os.listdir(backup_dir)
young_list = filter(lambda x: regexp.search(x), directory_list)
if young_list:
  young_list.sort(comparator)
  increment = regexp.search(young_list.pop()).groupdict()['increment']
  if increment:
    backup_subdir = os.path.join(backup_dir, repo + "-" + youngest + "-"
                                 + str(int(increment) + 1))
  else:
    backup_subdir = os.path.join(backup_dir, repo + "-" + youngest + "-1")

### Step 3: Ask subversion to make a hot copy of a repository.
###         copied last.

print "Backing up repository to '" + backup_subdir + "'..."
err_code = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, svnadmin, "svnadmin", "hotcopy", repo_dir, 
                     backup_subdir, "--clean-logs")
if(err_code != 0):
  print "Unable to backup the repository."
  sys.exit(err_code)
else:
  print "Done."


### Step 4: finally, remove all repository backups other than the last
###         NUM_BACKUPS.

if num_backups > 0:
  regexp = re.compile("^" + repo + "-[0-9]+(-[0-9]+)?$")
  directory_list = os.listdir(backup_dir)
  old_list = filter(lambda x: regexp.search(x), directory_list)
  old_list.sort(comparator)
  del old_list[max(0,len(old_list)-num_backups):]
  for item in old_list:
    old_backup_subdir = os.path.join(backup_dir, item)
    print "Removing old backup: " + old_backup_subdir
    shutil.rmtree(old_backup_subdir)
