This is an accident and I don't think there's a solution. But I'm asking anyways. I introduced SVN to our webshop and I set all the dev pc's htdocs as part of the repository. (my first mistake) Now, one of my coworkers are working on a project and didn't commit their code to svn (second mistake). His reasoning was that he's the only on...
I'm interested in using a Reed-Solomon error correction [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%E2%80%93Solomon_error_correction as a reference] to try to rebuild files from partial bits of a file. I'm doing this as a personal interest. I recently read about WuaLa [http://www.wua.la/] and I'm interested in how they leverage Reed-Solomon to r...
Do you know of any tools/commands by which I recover files which I accidentally removed? ...
Hi everyone, I've made a pretty stupid mistake with a git repository and lost some files I really need. I thought I added all new files to the repo before I commited the change to the current branch (didn't happen though). Then I created a new branch and deleted these files again from the new branch within TextMate with "move to trash"...
I've just lost some code. I needed to move a couple of methods from one class to another so i hit save, cut the methods and VS crashed.

So I'm left without the code and no easy way to get it back! ...

In particular, Active@ NTFS Reader does exactly what I need; it seems to trust less of what the file system is telling it and fr...

I wanted to make some simple file recovery software, where I want to try to recover files which happen to have been deleted by pressing Shift + Delete. I'm working in Windows, can anyone show me any links or documents which can help me to do so programatically? I know C, C++, .NET. Any pointers? ...
I have been working on an algorithm in Python, and I was using Vim to edit this file. I opened it up, did a save, and it came up with an Error something like it occasionally does: "WARNING: YOUR FILE CANNOT BE SAVED! ALL CHANGES WILL BE LOST! CANNOT WRITE THE FILE!" As this happens occasionally, I did what I normally do, and I hit :...

hi guys, I probably did a huge mistake. relevant system info: Windows XP SP2 i686 Cygwin 1.7.6 git 1.7.1 I was trying to create an empty branch on a newly created git repository, here are the commands I just issued: git init git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/klist rm .git/index <---- this command failed obviously, there was no ...
