How does one ignore the entire contents of the a directory with name target in using a .cvsignore file. I currently use eclipse IDE I have tried to use target but it does not seem to work. Should i rather be using target/* or target*. This would be very important especially for Maven projects. ...
Our IT guy has installed SVN 1.3, the current version is 1.5. We are migrating from CVS to SVN, so do I lose much by staying with 1.3? I like to run CVS2SVN and move to SVN without the need of writing any scripts Also: in CVS we have on project with multiple directories in there. What is the best practice in SVN? There is a nightly bui...
In CVS we have on project with multiple directories in there. There is a nightly build that has to pull in stuff from different directory in the same CVS project in order to build the nightly build. So I should have that in mind and I have to modify the build script to check things out from different repositories if we move to SVN. I r...
Currently I issue the following command: cvs -d /path/cvsroot checkout -P directory/powers_npg/ However, this checks out the entire directory structure that is above the directory to the location I am in when I issue this command. I am trying to check out this tree, but I want it checked out to a different directory than my PWD. I wo...
I have to use CVS in a project. So far in my whole working life, I have used only perforce and I do not know anything about CVS, I read the whole CVS manual but could not find how to do this : In perforce, when you check out a file, you first have to do a p4 edit filename.C (telling the perforce system that you are intentionally about t...
Hi all, I created a branch name ABC123 in my cvs repository, but i forgot to tag it. So now i want to find out changes from the created branch date to current time. I've tried: cvs diff -D20090619 source but it is not successful. CVS is quite bad than SVN in this kind of comparison. Could anyone shed me any light on this? Thanks a l...
Hey guys. I currently use cvs to control all my source files but want to move away from cvs to svn. Could anyone give me some pointers? I have loads of projects but they are all similar therefore would like to just have the structure: Trunk. /prj1,2,3, etc Branch. As above Tag. As above I am going to be using the cvs2s...

Would I be missing out something really important (feature / optimization & speed) if I install SVN 1.5.2 instead of the latest 1.6.x? ...
Can I create a single .cvsignore file to exclude specific patterns for the current directory and recursively for all subdirectories? Basically I want to say at the top of my cvs module to exclude all *.swp or *.bak files instead of having to create a new .cvsignore for each subdirectory. I suppose this behavior would be similar to that ...
I know there is TortoiseCVS, but I'm wondering if there is an easy way of sucking down source code in a CVS repository, just using SVN tools (without having to install CVS tools). Since SVN seems to have taken the preferred spot in OSS, I have to believe somebody has written a tool that will map CVS databases to SVN repositories. EDIT ...
Hi, I have a CVS add-in to Visual Studio. The add-in writes to the output window everything I do (commiting, editing, etc.). I built a macro that takes the output window and uses it to my own purpose. Now I moved to SVN, and I use the VisualSVN as add-in to the Visual Studio. But there is no SVN add-in that writes to the VS' output win...
Hi! We're using CVS, on every release we have to synchronise two different branches of code, and in every release cycle it's the same story, whitespace problems causing errors and wasting time. I'm looking for a way to automatically strip out trailing whitespace upon committing a file to CVS, unless explicitly forbidden, say by a comma...
Creating an Addin to use your favorite diff tool for doing a diff between the current active document and the last checked in version seems to be one way to go. Is there an option in VS2008 that I might configure to do this for me ? ...

I'm trying to git-cvsimport several different modules from CVS, all of which are on different branches. So far I've done this (in pseudo-bash code): for each ($MODULE, $BRANCH); do git-cvsimport -p x -v -d "$CVS_REPO" "$MODULE" -o "$BRANCH" -C "$MODULE" done But that makes a different git repository for each module. How would I m...
Hello, I've inherited a significantly sized internal app at the company I work for. It has two parts. One runs on a LAMP server, the other runs on a WAMP server. There is no source control to be seen. Currently, developers will log into each server via FTP and just directly edit the PHP files that are there. Or log into phpMyAdmin ...
I am looking for a way to join two revision histories for a single file. One of our projects was tracked via RCS. Now, this project lives in CVS. It was initially committed as a new project. As a result, the CVS history does not show the older revisions that were tracked via RCS. For example, suppose file foo.c was revised 10 times ...
