How can I checkout only the directory structure of a project (without any files) in a CVS repository?

I might not be interested in, say, the test cases folder which might take too much space on my local hard disk. ...

Someone once showed me a cool IntelliJ Idea plugin that would show all the user commit information from CVS right there in the Java source editor. It had a vertical bar on the right of the window and every code block changed/committed by a user was highlighted with different color and mouse-over would show the details about user and ve...
I am using CVS and after a merge, I have hundreds of conflicts. None of the conflicts are an issue (they're unimportant changes as a result of keyword expansion differences on the trunk and branch). I know no changes have been made to the files as this is simply a merge of a vendor branch into the trunk. A few dozen files have been ...

Introduction and Background We are in the process of changing source control system and we are currently evaluating git and mercurial. The total code base is around 6 million lines of code, so not massive and not really small either. Let me first start off with a very brief introduction to how the current repository design looks. Pictu...
Hello! I'm converting a large, multi-project CVS repository into Subversion using cvs2svn. It's working really nicely, but there are a few CVS projects that really ought to be branches of other projects. Using an options file I'm able to specify that the trunk of project 'ShouldBeBranch' should be placed in '/OtherProject/branches/Shou...

I've got several projects: P:\Projects\Common P:\Projects\App1 I originally added each of the folders (and their sub folders) to CVS (using Tortoise). Now I want to be able to just right clock Projects\ and "Commit" everytime I save anything in those folders. However, it seems that \Project is separate from \Common which is also sepe...

Hi All, I am trying to find an easy way to see what files I have modified in my checked out code by running either cvs update or cvs status and limiting the output to the files I have modified. I started by doing variations on: cvs update | grep "M " // this did nothing useful. cvs update | grep -e "M " * // this got me all the files...

I tried several Python IDEs (on Windows platform) but finally I found only Eclipse + PyDev meeting my needs. This set of tools is really comfortable and easy to use.

Eventually the branches will all exist in the same svn repository. ...
Hi - I'm currently working with partner on a PHP project. We both edit directly to a local server (all files are stored on the server, which is also running a WAMP stack). I'm looking for an SVN client that will monitor and save all changes to the htdocs folder, and will update a remote SVN repository, through the web. It would be a g...

Since in SVN there is a single revision no moo.txt also has to be at revision 1.10. Now if I see the history of moo.txt then, will I see the history of commits from 1 to 10? The reason I am asking ...
