There are about 200 projects in cvs and at least 100 projects in vss. Some are inactive code in maintenance mode. Some are legacy apps. Some are old apps no longer in use. About 10% are in active development. The plan is to move everything to perforce my end of year 2009. Has anyone done a large migration like this? Has anyone come ac...
I'm in Quality Assurance and use Fisheye to track checkins to CVS. What other options do people use? We have tens of thousands of files and have plans for migrating to Team Foundation Server's code management tool 'at some point' When we do that, there will be lots of information that will be available. ...
I'm using CVS on Windows (with the WinCVS front end), and would like to add details of the last check in to the email from our automated build process, whenever a build fails, in order to make it easier to fix. I need to know the files that have changed, the user that changed them, and the comment. I've been trying to work out the comm...

When commiting to SVN I can add a top level commit message to detail what is being committed, but I would ideally like a means to comment on the individual files and what has changed within them. I have seen something similar in previous employment, but this was using CVS (and I can't recall whether this was achieved with a home brew sc...
Anyone have any suggestions on where to start for a newbie wanting to try out some sort of source-control along with a new journey into ASP.NET? SVN, VSS, CVS...I dont even know where to start! ...
The Eclipse projects are all stored in the Eclipse Foundation CVS servers. Using the source is a great way to debug your code and to figure out how to do new things. Unfortunately in a large software project like BIRT, it can be difficult which projects and versions are required for a particular build. So what is the best way to ge...
I'd like to increase developers' "comfort level" in our team a bit. We are using Visual Studio 2008 and TortoiseCVS + WinCVS, but no integration as of yet. In your CVS/Visual Studio experience, what is the best integration tool in terms of "supports basic CVS functionality add/diff/update/commit/annotate/etc", "works out of the box", al...
How do I replace the HEAD of a CVS repository with a branch? ...
I'm looking for a tool like Atlassian's FishEye. The alternatives I've found so far (like StatCVS, ViewCVS or Bonsai) are either lacking in features or are quite a pain to install and maintain. So before staying with one of these tools, I'd like to be sure I did not miss any other good, easy to install, open-source (prefereably java) ver...
I am aware of this command: cvs log -N -w<userid> -d"1 day ago" Unfortunately this generates a formatted report with lots of newlines in it, such that the file-path, the file-version, and the comment-text are all on separate lines. Therefore it is difficult to scan it for all occurrences of comment text, (eg, grep), and correlate the ma...
Is there an easy way to get a conflict summary after running a cvs update? I work on a large project and after doing some work I need to do an update. The list of changes coming back from the cvs update command is several pages long and I'd like to see only the list of conflicts (starts with 'C') repeated at the end of the cvs update...
Lately I've be moving source files around in our source tree. For example placing a bunch of files into a common assembly. I've been doing this my deleting the file from CVS and then adding it again in the new spot. The problem is the revision number of the file resets back to 1.1. Is there some simple way to move things without having ...
I am currently working in a project with developers working on three sites. One of the sites is in Delhi, India while the other two are in Europe. The communication between the European offices and the office in Delhi has poor bandwidth and quite bad latency, and a CVS update from there often takes 5-10 minutes even though only a few fil...
I'm duty-bound by policy to use CVS in this certain project, so even though I'd really to switch to something else, like Git, I cannot. So, my real question goes like this: We have a convention that we create a new branch in CVS every time we make a release (we also tag, but that is besides the point). We call these version-branches, an...
Is there any way to list all the files that have changed between two tags in CVS? Every time we do a release we apply a tag to all the files in that release. I want to find all the files that changed between releases. It would also work if I could find all files that had changed between two dates. ...
Under what circumstances would this or would this not be safe? I have a branch that has a four changes (no file add or deletes). Would this be safe to delete? Edit: The reason for wanting to delete it is that it was misnamed and is going to lead to confusion. ...
I think title should be good enough. ...
I've removed a checked in file from the CVS branch, i.e.: cvs remove -f file.txt cvs commit How do I restore the file? ...
I want to use CVS or SVN as my source control mechanisms on several side projects I am working on. Instead of hosting the server myself, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on CVS or SVN hosts. My concerns in order are: reliability, uptime, and price. When responding, please give details on your recommendation. Also, if...
